Course Aims

The 2 day CISRS Skills Assessment (advanced) is designed to assess that the candidate can demonstrate the skills learnt during the CISRS advanced course, i.e. safely erect, alter and dismantle advanced scaffolding structures in line with the objectives approved by CISRS.

By the end of the course successful candidates will have demonstrated their competency in the safe erection, alteration and dismantling of advanced scaffold structures covered in the CISRS advanced scaffolding course.
