CISRS Scaffolding Training Returns to Yorkshire with New Wakefield Centre

After years without a dedicated local provider, Yorkshire has regained full access to CISRS-certified scaffolding training thanks to a new facility opened by Aecor International Training in Wakefield.

The centre marks Aecor’s first major move into the UK training market after operating scaffold training programmes in the Middle East and Asia.

Already an established international provider, Aecor’s new Wakefield site now delivers the full suite of Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme (CISRS) courses – from the one-day COTS (Operative Training Scheme) to advanced Part 1 and Part 2 qualifications.

The opening has been welcomed by industry leaders and the local scaffolding sector as a much-needed boost for workforce development across the North of England.

Trevor Donohue, CISRS Auditor, said: “I am delighted to confirm that a new scaffold training centre has received CISRS accreditation in Wakefield, Yorkshire.

The Aecor International Training Centre provides excellent training facilities for a wide range of CISRS-approved training courses, which cater for Tube and Fitting Scaffold and System Scaffolding courses.

The centre provides a great addition to the CISRS scheme, and its location will become a significant asset to the Yorkshire scaffolding sector and the wider construction industry throughout the North of England.”

Aecor’s team of instructors bring over 30 years of experience to their teaching. The courses not only cover the technical aspects of scaffolding but also focus on current health and safety regulations and compliance, aligning with the latest industry best practices.

Successful trainees will be eligible for the appropriate CISRS cardsessential for working on UK construction sites.

The Wakefield Centre now serves as a regional hub for scaffolders seeking certification without the need to travel further afield. The return of accredited CISRS courses to the area has been seen as a positive step forward in meeting industry demand and improving access to training.

Aecor International already operates training facilities in Nepal, the UAE, and Qatar. The move into the UK market, the company says, reflects its ongoing mission to support scaffolding excellence and raise standards globally.
