Steps

  1. Confirm a trainee holds a CISRS Labourer Card for at least 3 months before attending CISRS Part 1 training.
  2. Complete the CISRS Part 1 programme covering foundational scaffolding skills.
  3. Complete CISRS Part 2 and the associated NVQ Level 2, followed by a 1-day skills test, to become eligible for a CISRS Scaffolder Card.
  4. Track the Scaffolder Card's validity period and complete the CISRS CPD/refresher course before it lapses to renew.
  5. For system scaffolding specifically, check the current system-only Part 1/Part 2 training pathway, since CISRS has been expanding parallel tracks for system (as opposed to tube-and-fitting) scaffolding.
  6. Check CISRS's current reform announcements before relying on older course structures, since CISRS has proposed multi-stage changes to align with a global training baseline.
