NASC Addresses Misinformation on CISRS and Skills Bootcamps Funding

The National Access & Scaffolding Confederation (NASC) has issued a clarification following the recent circulation of inaccurate information surrounding CISRS-accredited Scaffolding & Access Skills Bootcamps.

Aiming to provide transparent communication, NASC has outlined the true funding structure and eligibility for these training initiatives, which are crucial for addressing skill shortages in the scaffolding industry.

The inaccurate press release had mistakenly suggested that the Skills Bootcamps were fully funded and exclusively accessible to participants associated with certain member organisations.

NASC has clarified that, while these bootcamps do receive funding, full subsidies are limited to new entrants, with partial funding available for eligible upskilling courses at rates between 70% and 90%. Furthermore, access to these bootcamps is offered only through select CISRS-accredited centres throughout the UK.

Supporting the Skills Bootcamps scheme remains a top priority for NASC it said, which views the initiative as a vital means to attract new talent into the scaffolding and access sector.

By equipping workers with essential skills, NASC says it aims to foster employment opportunities and tackle skill shortages in a proactive and inclusive manner.

Importantly, NASC is working alongside multiple industry organisations to broaden access to these training opportunities, reinforcing its commitment to ensuring that Skills Bootcamps are not confined to members of specific associations or bodies.

NASC’s efforts align with the Department for Education’s funding rules, aiming to deliver a program that benefits the industry as a whole. The organisation continues to work with partners to expand the reach of these bootcamps across England, promoting a sector-wide approach that champions accessibility.

For more information on Skills Bootcamps funding, locations, and eligibility, NASC encourages interested parties to contact them directly or visit their website at nasc.org.uk.
