CISRS Basic Skills Test
The law requires that any individual wishing to erect, alter or dismantle scaffolding must be able to prove their competency. The industry-wide accepted proof of competency for operatives is to hold a CISRS Scaffold card. Upon completion of this 1 day course, you will receive a CISRS Scaffolders Card. Valid for 5 years.
Description
The aim of the Basic Skills Test is to assess that the delegate can demonstrate the skills learnt during the CISRS Part 1 and Part 2 courses, i.e. safely erect, alter and dismantle scaffolding in line with the objectives approved by CISRS.
Training 2000 will apply for CISRS scaffolding cards on behalf of delegates upon course completion (where applicable). If the required information is not received within six months of the course date, delegates must apply directly to CISRS for their card.
Prerequisites
Delegates must have successfully completed a Part 1 and Part 2 (Tube & Fitting) course and be able to be able to provide evidence of this training in the form of certificates.
Delegates must also provide evidence of L2 National Diploma in Accessing Operations and Rigging (Construction) Scaffolding.
Delegates must also have the minimum six months’ further scaffold experience.
To be issued with a CISRS Scaffolders Card, the operative must have passed a CITB HS&E Test (or accepted exemption). Valid for 2 years.
