advanced ticket or supervisor

I think I'm right in saying the supervisors ticket is the scaffolders equivalent of the SMSTS. The way I read it is you don't really need this if your on the spanners e.g leading hand but it is one I may do myself as my SMSTS has run out.

Without my various tickets, id NOW be out of work and struggling to feed my missus and kids.

Tickets are important and those who dont have even the basics, like a CISRS card need to get with the program and sort it out - pronto.

Definately agree Jason, its expensive and a pain attending all the courses, but once done your in a better position for work...

Personally,I choose experience. We had this debate a while back. Gary Adams and Phil share the same sentiments. (If not tg 20?) Would it not also be on the court to prove you incompetent.

I would tend to agree with Phil181 on this one and say if you're already in court you would already be deemed incompetent.

A few years back Frederik we had dealings with a loss adjuster and I can assure you the onus is on us to prove competence.
 
haha, not knocking the guy's who think otherwise but if you employ men you need to be doing it the official way. Doesn't mean there is not loads of good scaffs out there with no ticket or worse still the wrong ticket but I have to be totally honest and say no ticket no job at Aom.

I recently done the advanced too but also had to pay £350 hotel plus say £50 a week food on top of the £2500 so pushing £3000 with the loss of earnings. Lets hope it's all worth it eh. Saving now to do offshore lol

£3000 is a big outlay mate.

I never really realised how lucky I was until I starting seeing how many lads on the forum have paid for their own training.

Best of luck with getting your money back and making a decent penny on top.
 
Considering uni leavers average a debt of £53000 & end up working behind a bar it's not bad

yes all you need is the advanced CISRS, but I heard this will change next year, and you will also need the inspection card aswell...

It must be true then!

We have already established that you don't necessarily need ANY form of qualification to inspect a scaffolding structure. Now all of a sudden we've jumped to an essential combination of CISRS advanced card and scaffold inspection card!
