CISRS Advanced Scaffolder Card (Gold)

Description

The Advanced ‘GOLD’ Card is a direct step-up from the CISRS Scaffolder (Tube & Fitting) card. Holders of these cards have received training on how to erect, alter, and dismantle complex scaffolding structures. Therefore, the scope of works they’re authorised to perform is noticeably more varied than projects conducted by blue card holders.

What are the qualifying criteria for a CISRS Advanced Scaffolder Card?

In order to successfully apply for an advanced scaffolder card, you’ll need to address the following qualifying requirements:

1. Have ownership of a CISRS Scaffolder (Tube & Fitting) card for at least twelve months.
2. Attend the CISRS Advanced course, specifically designed for prospective advanced card holders.
3. Successfully pass either a NVQ Level 3 or SCQF Level 6 (Scottish students). For example, this could be the SVQ Operations and Rigging (Construction): Scaffolding and Offshore Scaffolding course.
4. Complete the CISRS 2-day Skills Test

If you’d like to extend your membership beyond the card’s five-year tenure, you’ll need to take the aforementioned CPD course.

• Work Authorization: Cardholders can lead a scaffolding gang to build basic structures in compliance with industry standards and regulations.
• Renewal: To renew either card, a 2-day scaffolder refresher course (CPD) is required to stay updated with industry developments and techniques.
