About training

CISRS continues to expand and develop the training it offers. CISRS divides its training into four categories, with each category offering different courses and programmes. These categories are:

  1. Scaffolding Operative Training
  2. Scaffolding Supervisory and Management Training
  3. Scaffold Inspection Training
  4. Scaffolding Awareness Training

CISRS courses can only be delivered by CISRS accredited centres which have been audited and approved by CISRS. The facilities provided by these centres, the course content and methods of assessment are laid down in the specific scheme criteria documents and the relevant vocational qualification standards.

Employers must demonstrate compliance with the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act, the Work at Height Regulations, the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations and other relevant statutory provisions with regard to training, competence and supervision.
