CISRS Introduces Second Round of Subsidised CPD Courses

The Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme (CISRS) will once again be funding a number of subsidised CPD courses across the UK this Summer/Autumn.

CISRS are working with a number of training centres enabling the delivery of CPDย  programmes for only ยฃ50 per delegate.

“As a not-for-profit organisation, CISRS is always keen to find ways of assisting the sector and feels this is a good use of resources, especially at this difficult time”, CISRS said.

The commissioning of these 30+ courses attended by over 400 delegates around the UK, has seen CISRS reinvest in excess of ยฃ130K to date in 2021.

Similar funded programmes have been in place since the inception of CPD in 2017.

CISRS has said it will waive the usual costs of the delegate training folders and card application fees normally incurred in the delivery of these courses.

Rick Statham Joint Managing Director of Safety and Access one of the providers taking part in the initiative said:ย โ€œThe funded CPD training from CISRS is a very welcome gesture both to individuals and businesses. Whilst the construction industry is in the main fairly buoyant at the moment, none of us can predict, whatโ€™s around the corner, so an opportunity for people to renew their qualifications and therefore remains fully employable for the next 5 years is vital.”

Dave Mosley CISRS Managing Director added:ย โ€œCISRS CPD has been in place for almost 4 years and has been a great success with around 25,000 operatives attending in that period.ย ย 

As a trade, scaffolding does not always get the credit it deserves, we have a robust scheme in place and have recognised that CPD is an important part of it. Pressure is mounting from wider industry on those sectors yet to introduce CPD or refresher training their qualifications.ย 

We are currently in the process of reviewing the results of the recent CPD survey which went out in November last year and remained open for 3 months. We will take the responses into consideration, prior to launching phase 2 next summer.โ€

  • AIS (Aberdeen) 26th-27th June 2021
