CISRS have announced that with the collaboration of four of their approved training providers they are able to offer six fully funded (free) CPD courses across the UK in July and August.
The providers involved – LTC Training Services, National Construction College, Safety and Access Ltd and Simian Skill Ltd – have agreed to run these courses at a greatly reduced price, CISRS will be picking up the cost of the training courses, the course literature and renewed CISRS cards for all delegates attending.
Dave Mosley CISRS Scheme Manager said: “All of the providers taking part have been heavily involved in the development of the CPD course through their positions on the standardisation committee. We would really like to thank them for all of their hard work and their generous offer to work with CISRS to provide these fully funded courses.”
If you include the two CPD Pilot courses which took place at NCC Midlands in February and March 2017, this project will allow for almost 100 operatives to meet the CISRS CPD requirement and be issued with their Mobile Access Towers (MATS), Scaffold Inspection and CPD endorsed cards, free of charge. Had this training been delivered commercially it would have cost in the region of £30 – £35K.
CISRS are considering working with other approved providers later in the year in order to offer additional subsidised courses, should the programme prove to be a success.
The courses are open to all scaffolders or advanced scaffolders who have a card which expires in 2017.
Places will be offered on a first come first served basis and limited to 1 delegate per company in the first instance.
Those interested must contact the centers directly to secure their place and must act quickly as the first course takes place 3rd/4th July (see dates and contact details below.)
