Advanced Skills Test (AST)

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 Advanced Scaffolder card. Upon completion of this course, the operative will receive a CISRS Advanced Scaffolders Card. Valid for 5 years.

Description

The aim of the 2 day CISRS Skills Advanced Assessment is a practical assessment in which delegates will be required to erect 2 scaffolding structures in accordance with current regulations. It is designed to assess that the delegate can demonstrate the skills learnt during the CISRS Advanced course.

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.
