Q: What are the differences between the CISRS cards?
A trainee scaffolder should not be carrying out any scaffolding works unless directly supervised by a qualified scaffolder. During the period of time that the operative holds the trainee card they should attend the CISRS Part 1 Scaffolders course. This is a 2 week off site course carried out by an approved CISRS training provider,
The course includes
H&S Awareness
SG4 Harness Training
Interpretation of simple drawings
Independent Scaffolds
Putlog scaffolds
Birdcage scaffolds
Static Tower
Alteration to scaffolds

The operative then must return to industry for a minimum of 6 months to apply (under supervision) the skills they have attained. They must then attend CISRS Part 2 Scaffolders Course. This again is a 2 week off site course carried out by an approved provider. The course includes
SG4 Harness training
Scaffolds with prefabricated beams
Protective fans

The operative must return to industry for a minimum of 6 months. In this time they must collate work based evidence in order to complete S/NVQ Level 2 in Access and Rigging Operations. The operative returns to the centre for an VQ portfolio assessment, they then take the ConstructionSkills H&S test and if successful will be issued with a CISRS Scaffolders Card (*The word Basic has been dropped since June 2006). This scaffolder can now be deemed competent to erect, dismantle or alter the range of works as outlined above. This covers around 80% of the range of scaffolding works carried out in construction. An operative must hold a CISRS (Basic) Scaffolders card for a period of 12 months (this is being extended to 3 years) prior to attending a CISRS 2 week off site Advanced Course at an approved training provider click here for list).
The course includes:
SG4 Harness training
Hanging Scaffold
Cantilever Drop
2 way Shoring/dead shore
Temporary roof scaffold
Ramps
Risk Assessments
Method Statements
Testing of ties
The operative then must return to industry for a minimum of 6 months to collate work based evidence in order to complete S/NVQ Level 3 Access and Rigging Operations. The operative returns to the approved provider for a VQ assessment, they then take the ConstructionSkills H&S test and if successful will be issued with a CISRS Advanced card. This scaffolder can now be deemed competent in the range of works covered in all 3 courses.
CISRS would point out that it is not considered necessary to have an Advanced Scaffolder working in every squad of scaffolders. If the work is in the range of tasks covered in the Part 1 or Part 2 then there is no reason why a (basic) scaffolder cannot supervise the works.
