CISRS Scaffolder CPD Refresher Course

Scaffold Inspection

• This module will cover subjects such as the Role of the Inspector, Statutory Inspections in Practice, Work at Height Regulations, Tagging, Handover Certificates and will end with a practical and written test. This module is card specific and if passed, will result with either a Basic Scaffold Inspection or Advanced Scaffold Inspection endorsement being added to the renewed CISRS card.

Alloy Tower Module

• This module will cover subjects including Alloy Tower components, Assembly/Moving/Dismantling of Towers, Types of Towers, Hazards and Inspection. As with the Inspection module, delegates will be required to complete a written and practical test and if passed, renewed cards will be endorsed with CISRS Alloy Tower training.

Health, Safety & Behavioural Test

• This test has been designed to be more scaffold specific. Test papers will consist of 12 Behavioural Questions and 38 Knowledge Questions. Revision Booklets will be available from Training Centres at the time of booking CPD courses. If this test is passed, the delegate will not need to pass an additional CITB HS&E Test to renew. However, if this test is not passed, delegates will be required to submit evidence of a CITB HS&E Test taken within 2 years or a recognised exemption to CISRS to have their card issued.

A CPD specific training folder will be given to each delegate on their first day. This will include CISRS Modules 1 and 2 along with relevant NASC Guidance Notes. This folder will form part of the course material and will be retained by the delegate on completion of the course.

CISRS Training Centres have all been required to sign up to a “Cards Without Application” system, which means that CPD delegates will not need to submit applications for card renewals. It should be noted however, that if a delegate fails the CISRS Health, Safety & Behavioural Test, they will need to submit separate evidence of a CITB HS&E Test (or recognised exemption) to have their renewed card issued.
