Refresher Training:

CISRS Scaffolding Supervisor Cards are valid for 5 years. If you need to renew your card you will be required to attend a CISRS 2 Day Scaffolder Supervisor Refresher Course and have passed a Supervisory Level CITB HS&E Test (or hold a recognised exemption). We offer this course at TFC, please check the course list to book.

This will be carried out as part of the course administration and incurs a charge per application to cover the standard CITB card application cost which is included within the course pricing.

What do I need to bring?

You will be required to wear some PPE equipment during the practical element of the course. Please check the course specification for full details of PPE and Workwear requirements.
