CISRS SITS - Advanced Scaffold Inspection

The CISRS Advanced Scaffold Inspection Course is one of the courses within the CISRS Scaffolding Inspection Training Scheme (SITS). The CISRS Advanced Scaffold Inspection Course is a two-day course aimed at those responsible for inspecting complex scaffolds.

To be eligible for this course delegates should have extensive scaffolding industry experience and need to have held a CISRS Basic Scaffold Inspection Record Card for a minimum of 2 years.

This course is also open to CISRS Scaffolders who have held their card for a minimum of 2 years and Advanced Scaffold card holders.

Delegates will be assessed using a multiple-choice question format at the end of the course.
