The COTS training provides a basic understanding of the scaffolding terminology and activities as well as work at height safety techniques. To be eligible for taking this course, the delegate must pass the Health, safety and environment test not earlier than two years before applying.
The CISRS Scaffolding Part 1 training
When reaching 6-month on-site COTS scaffolderexperience, our operatives take a 10-day CISRS Scaffolding Part 1 training. To clarify, this provides a basic proficiency in tube and fitting or system scaffolds. The delegates study theory and have practical experience regarding:
