Scaffolders are crucial within the construction world and here at Training 2000 we deliver multiple courses equipped with knowledge to train individuals within the industry. Not only do we offer a Level 2 Scaffolder Apprenticeship, but we also deliver multiple commercial courses, from CISRS New Entrant Constructions Operatives Training Scheme to CISRS Basic Skills Test. Our courses provide individuals with practical and theoretical training to ensure employees can safely and efficiently erect, modify, and dismantle scaffolds while complying with industry standards and health and safety regulations.
Our Level 2 Scaffolding Apprenticeship is 19 months long and is designed to provide comprehensive, high quality training consisting 2 week blocks every 4 months at our Blackburn site. Scaffolding apprentices are assessed through a practical skills test, a knowledge test and a professional discussion based on a portfolio of evidence to ensure they can work safely and effectively on site.
If you are looking to upskill existing employees on your site, our commercial courses are delivered by industry professionals, providing the knowledge and skills needed to strengthen your workforce and stay up to date with industry standards.
Please note: CITB grants are available for both this Apprenticeship and commercial courses. You can find out more about apprenticeship funding here, and commercial funding here.
