can I ask - what is your view on scaffolding training and what is your view on Qualifications ? the industries in the world are wanting qualifications and not just standardized training. standardized training is all well and good but it does not give the Scaffolders the recognition that it needs to.
For years Joiners / plumbers etc have all received formal qualifications for their professions but in scaffolding it is very minimalized with regards to qualifications on the open market.... CITB / CISRS are both standardized but neither are qualifications which people seem to think, of recent I did a lecture to a oil and gas company - who their believe was that CITB and CISRS were qualification's until I told them the horrible truth.......that this is just a standardized training program that any company can run. shock horror...
well that is the truth but I would like to hear your views on my comments as I believe these are extremely valid comments which should be heard around the world.
