Check out the International Scaffolders page for updated information on NZ ticket requirements.

Get your CISRS Gold card first mate. Then If you come to NZ you can use your qual to work towards your NZ cert, also helps you to get work permits etc.

Having your UK Card, you would get a job easily, but you cannot sign-off scaffolds as safe etc until you get a SARNZ C.O.C.

Think things have changed in the last week or two regarding the CISRS being recognised in N.Z. This is the same for scaffolding qualifications gained in Australia, South Africa and the Philippines.

As for signing scaffolds off I have yet to see a job erected To the required standard to sign fit for use, shocking is not the word.

Youde get a scaff job without a ticket in NZ.. same as here. despite all the scaremongering and paranoia about which ticket you hold. paper qualification or good solid experience. Employers,take your choice.

As said before your Uk ticket will get you a job in NZ but like its says already you cant sign off your own work and have to rely on others to do it , there is now a fast track way to get a NZ ticket which you read the Best Practise Guidelines (copy of CITB but the harder stuff taken out ) and then answer a 100 question multiple choice test and you get a Advanced Ticket .
In NZ tickets are everything if you had twenty years experience and a guy walked in with a basic ticket they would give the ticketed guy the job . What you guys need to remember NZ is mainly Layher or Kwikstage or some other system that was out of date in the 60's and tube and clip is not that common .

The assessment is on the SARNZ website, written paper and a practical must be completed before uk ticket gets the SARNZ COC.

Can send you the link to SARNZ Assessment booklet. COC lasts two years. During the two years you must get first aid, dogman ticket and suspended to then be able to renew the COC. That's the rules at present, but it could change in the future
