Many thanks

Your uk card does not count in nz, you have to do all the course's again.

A total joke as is the standard of scaffolding.

:eek: I was under the impression that the CISRS UK cards were World recognised qualifications?

Seeing as the standards of UK Scaffolding compared to the rest of the world are usually so much more higher.
 
Yes J, the whole worlds at it mate, more courses for well qualified men in a different country. All about money for some poxy organisation.
Australia,N.Z. they're all the same. They didnt have scaffolding in these countries a few years back.
They had to import fittings and tube from the Uk and the men to erect and teach them how to do it. All of a sudden, our qualifications dont count. Its all Bollix,that goes for our other trades like sparks plumbers etc. I have a mate who emmigrated years ago. He was a BT engineer,had to resit Oz exams. He was trained in fibre optics which hadnt even reached Oz at the time. Figure that one out.
Our technology,and now do a course to qualify. Exactly why I supported the Eictb boys when tickets were taken away.
 
The course in Oz was taught to them by Brit scaffs cos they couldnt do it.But the ozzies cant use their cards up here so we cant use Brit cards down there.Cant really complain.Brit scaffs might be the best about but that doesnt mean we can go and work anywhere.We need something along the lines of the IRATA ticket for abseilers,worldwide recognition.But when we cant get recognition for some cards on our own doorstep a worldwide solution is a long way away.
 
As said before its a money maker for these countries , i did my advanced course in NZ which i think was like doing a part1 basic in the uk , unfortunatley there seem to be more paper work than actual physical scaffolding in NZ courses
If you go to these countries you have to scaffold your way and not be sucked into there way of doing things and there way of live as if you did nothi ng would get done , a good example of this is that the company i work for got a temp roof to erect and they gave it to a five handed gang to do which did not have a clue and it ended up taking them two months to complete and it was only a forty foot sqaure to erect and only monarflex going on top instead of tin and they had a tower crane on the job to lift up and to lift beams into place , in fact they took the total piss
 
Im knocking the whole system digsie.Why cant T&f scaffs work in different countries,Same system ffs. They will soon find a level or get found out,A scaff would adapt to different methods pretty quick.
 
Totally agree frederik the whole system is a joke.Unfortunately for the scaff its been taken out of our hands and straight into the hands of the money men.
 
Its a honey trap, Show your cv/tickets to qualify for immgration, arrive and find your on another course.ironic.:evil:
 
The CITB Scaffold qualiification was recognised world wide some years ago. It seems to have lost some of its shine since the CISRS system was introduced.APL is accepted over here to assist in transfer of tickets etc but virtually every skill has to be accepted as valid by Aus/NZ authorities.
 
Who is APL mate some sort of governing body or something .
