These days most companies would do temp roofs, staircases and ramps plus doing jobs from complex drawings all of which feature in the advanced course.
Ok so you do temporary roofs, a staircase and a ramp out on site, and use this as evidence in your portfolio.
You become an advanced, but you have never done a dropper apart from at college.
A guy whose been in the game 30 years and done droppers in his sleep but doesn't have a card.
Who do u want with u wen ur arse is twitching sliding down that standard.
My point is, that to say u can't do a drop scaffold if u don't have an A card is dog ****, it mite be the rules but it's dog ****

I recall an experienced scaff being sent away from a part 2 course in the days when the part 1 course could be bypassed.
On being told to put up an independent on the first morning he stood a 21 up against the wall at BN and went off to get some more gear. The instructor sent him away to come back and do a part 1. The guy was just doing exactly what all of us have done at some time!!
