The Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme (CISRS), in collaboration with a selection of approved training centres, has announced its plan to offer a series of subsidised Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses this summer across the United Kingdom.
The initiative will provide an opportunity for delegates to attend these courses at a reduced cost of £50. The initiative has been made possible through agreements with various training providers. Since the program’s inception, over 25,000 operatives have retained their CISRS status, having successfully completed the two-day programme.
“We’ve always been committed to improving accessibility to high-quality training in our industry. This summer’s initiative is another step in that direction,” said a CISRS representative. “Our arrangement with our partners allows us to offer this CPD program at a nominal cost, and we are grateful for their cooperation.”
Over 100 of these subsidised courses will be available at different locations nationwide. The initiative, which is expected to benefit thousands of individuals, will see CISRS reinvest around £400,000 back into the industry, providing support to stakeholders who hold the industry-recognised qualification and card.

• AIS Survivex (North Shields) 22-23 May 2023

More centres than ever have joined up to this summer’s initiative, and we appreciate their help in redistributing funds back into the industry,” added the CISRS representative.
