As National Scaffolding Week 2024 gets underway, the Scaffolding Association has announced a landmark partnership with City & Guilds Training to deliver exclusive Skills Bootcamps for scaffolding training.
The initiative is designed to offer fully funded training opportunities to members of the association, ensuring that participants can access the qualifications needed to thrive in the industry.
Fully Funded Scaffolding Training
Through the partnership, City & Guilds Training will provide 100% funding for CISRS Part 1, Part 2, and Advanced Courses, including NVQ and skills assessments.
These courses are available to both CITB and non-CITB registered companies, offering wide-ranging access to essential qualifications for those working within the scaffolding sector.
The scaffolding industry contributes over £2.86 billion to the UK economy annually and supports more than 6,000 companies, so there is significant growth potential within the sector.
This partnership aims to boost the skill levels of current workers, helping them progress in their careers while supporting the industry’s long-term development.
Courses on Offer
The Skills Bootcamps include a range of CISRS courses tailored explicitly to scaffolding professionals, with options such as:
- CISRS Part 1 Metrix
- CISRS Part 1 Layher
- CISRS Part 2 Metrix
- CISRS Part 2 Layher
- CISRS Advanced Course
These courses, typically lasting up to 16 weeks, are aimed at helping individuals enhance their skill sets and become job-ready in one of the UK’s most in-demand sectors.
Skills Bootcamps: A Path to Career Growth
Skills Bootcamps are part of the government’s Lifetime Skills Guarantee, offering flexible and targeted training options across key industries.
Designed to provide learners with sector-specific skills that are directly aligned with current job market demands, the bootcamps are open to adults aged 19 or over who are either currently employed, seeking a career change, or recently unemployed. The initiative is open to individuals residing in England.
As scaffolding companies continue to seek highly skilled workers, these bootcamps present an ideal opportunity for participants to advance their careers in a field that offers significant prospects for growth and progression.
Limited Spaces Available
Members of the Scaffolding Association are encouraged to act quickly, as spaces for these fully funded courses are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
