NASC has appointed Rob Boardman as its new Head of Training and Education.

He will take up the role from Monday 8 June 2026, joining the trade body after nine years with 3B Training, a CISRS-recognised training centre.

Boardman most recently worked as Operations Director at 3B Training. NASC said his experience gives him a strong understanding of scaffolding training, training centre operations and the standards used to support workforce development across the sector.

The appointment comes at a busy time for scaffolding training, with continued industry focus on competence, skills shortages and the future structure of CISRS training routes.

NASC said Boardman’s role will support its work around training and education across the scaffolding and access industry.

Clive Dickin, Group CEO of NASC and CISRS, said: “We are delighted to welcome Rob to the team. He brings a wealth of relevant experience and expertise and joins us at an important time for training and education across the scaffolding and access industry. I look forward to working with him.”

The move also gives NASC a senior training appointment with direct experience from inside the CISRS training centre network.

Boardman’s background at 3B Training is likely to be relevant as the sector continues to discuss access to training, employer support and the skills needed to bring new entrants into scaffolding.
