Its The Same Timescale To Be Carded For Tube Or System,I Did My Parts One And Two In Tube And Did The System Add Ons, You Can Do A Part One Or Two In System Which Means You Are Only Competent In That System(Cuplock,Kwikstage Or Whatever) There Is No Advanced System Card So Sorry Mate Your Talking Out Your Hard Hat There.Most Of The Blokes Who Do A Part One Or Two In System Are Put Through By Either Sgb Or Interserve. It Has To Be The Set Timescale In Order To Achieve The Nvq.

push the fooker ower , fook system
It certainly isn't. It may be faster or better suited for certain applications (new builds) but it isn't as adaptable.
One point though, whether you served your time on T/F or System and T/F I don't think there's any difference in the level of skill each scaffolder has. It's the experience/knowledge gained afterwards the shapes the scaffolder.
I Started Scaffolding In 1978 Before Hard Hats And Boots Were Compulsory,And Im Learning Every Day Something Different,And To Be Honest Im Just A Little Bit Pi**ed Off At The Attitude Of A Few Blokes On Here,I Always Thought First And Foremost We Were Scaffolders But It Would Seem That There Is A Difference Between Tube Scaffolders And System Scaffolders,Divide And Conquer Is It Gents?
Today I seen a chimney scaffold done out of timber, a good proper neat job, everything plumb, level. roof saddle, double guard rails , toe boards, stood looking at it and could'nt fault it, obviously put up by a carpenter. My point is a proper trained and qualified man can always do a good job with the materials he's trained to use.

Gerscaf mate,just a good old fashioned debate,going on and on and on and on. My opinion for what its worth, took me at least 5 minutes to learn how to erect some forms of system, still learning about t&f 30 yrs later. no tickets in either by the way.
