Foreword
Foreword
The Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme (CISRS) has been operating within
the UK for over 40 years. It is the industry recognised qualification for those working
within the scaffolding and access sector. The scheme offers a full range of practical and
theoretical training and assessment courses aimed at Scaffolding Labourers, Trainees,
Scaffolders, Advanced Scaffolders, Supervisors/Managers and Scaffolding Inspectors.
The scheme is based upon the principles of achieving qualification via formal off-site
training, on site work experience, completion of S/NVQ Accessing Operations and
Rigging (Construction), Practical Skills assessment and Health and Safety training/testing.
Over the years CISRS has ensured the scheme remains current, valid and robust by
seeking to incorporate relevant legislative or Technical and Health and Safety changes as
they occur.
Unlike many other trade schemes CISRS does not offer a “fast track” route to
qualification. In order to maintain the integrity of the scheme, all delegates must meet all
of the criteria laid out at the time of their registration and entry into the scheme.
There is a requirement to renew registration to CISRS on a regular basis (usually 5 years)
after completing a CITB Health, Safety and Environment test or a recognised exemption.
In order to keep qualifications current, CISRS are introducing a series of refresher courses
and a requirement to repeat short duration training after a set period of time has elapsed.
The Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme has changed considerably in
the last 40 years. In this time we have witnessed the introduction of mandatory formal
training, S/NVQ, Health, Safety and Environment testing, practical assessment, systems
scaffolding and inspection courses. It is this commitment to improvement that allows
CISRS to retain its status as one of the most highly regarded trade qualification schemes
within the industry.

Section 1 – Scope of the Scheme
1. Scope of the Scheme
The Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme (CISRS) continues to expand and
develop operative and management/supervisory training. CISRS is now divided into three
categories, with each category offering different courses and programmes.
These categories are:
I. Scaffolding Operative Schemes
II. Scaffolding Management and Supervisory Training
III. Scaffold Inspector Training
The operative training schemes apply to all scaffolding operatives who are at any time
required to erect, alter or dismantle scaffolding. An operative who has not attained prescribed
levels of training, assessment and experience in scaffolding of a given kind, must not be
employed on such scaffolding work unless they are under adequate supervision.
Employers must demonstrate compliance with the requirements of the Health and Safety
at Work Act, the Work at Height Regulations, the Construction (Design and Management)
Regulations and other relevant statutory provisions with regard to training, competence and
supervision.
Since September 1996, in addition to completing CISRS Pt.1, Pt.2 and Advanced practical
courses it has been a mandatory requirement of the operative scheme for candidates to
achieve the relevant National or Scottish Vocational Qualification (N/SVQ) i.e. Level 2 VQ for
a Scaffolder Card and Level 3 VQ for an Advanced Scaffolder Card. The scheme has since
been further enhanced by the inclusion of a mandatory skills test/assessment following Pt.2
and Advanced training.
The aim of CISRS is to provide a range of management and supervisory training that
meets the specific needs of the scaffolding industry. The first course to be introduced into
the scheme was the 5-Day Scaffolding Supervisors course, which is aimed at first line
management of Scaffolding Contractors’ (i.e. Contracts Supervisors, Foremen and nonworking Charge-Hands). It is the intention of the Scheme to align all management and
supervisory training with relevant vocational qualifications in the future.
The purpose of the CISRS Labourer Card is to provide a CSCS Affiliated Card for nonscaffolders who support scaffolding operations on site. This will assist employers and clients
who require a fully CSCS qualified workforce on site. It also ensures that all operatives can
demonstrate a minimum level of health and safety knowledge in achieving the CITB Health,
Safety and Environment Test. As of September 2013 completion of a New Entrant Trainee/
Labourer course will become a mandatory scheme requirement.
Training and assessment within the CISRS can only be provided by CISRS Accredited
Centres with content and facilities approved and regularly audited by CISRS. The
requirements of centres and the training and assessment they provide is laid down in specific
scheme criteria documents and the vocational qualification standards.The following sections
provide information and an overview of the various schemes available.

Section 2 – Scaffolding Operative Schemes
2. Scaffolding Operative Schemes
The scaffolding operative schemes provided by CISRS Accredited Centres are the
nationally recognised training and assessment schemes for Scaffolding in the UK. It is
also viewed by many employers as scaffolding industry best practice overseas.
In addition to the traditional Scaffolder card scheme, based predominately on tube and
fitting equipment, CISRS also provides training, assessment and card schemes for
Scaffolding operatives who use modular system scaffolding. These include a proprietary
system scaffolding training and assessment scheme for Scaffolders, limited basic training
for non-scaffolders who regularly use system scaffolding equipment and a Scaffolding
Labourer’s card scheme.
CISRS Scaffolder Cards are only issued to candidates who:
I.attend the relevant CISRS training course(s)
II.have the required site experience in scaffolding operations
III.provide suitable evidence for assessment
IV.complete the relevant skills test and VQ assessment
V.complete the CITB Health, Safety and Environment Test or a
recognised exemption
The Record Cards are endorsed with the training courses and VQ qualifications achieved.
The flow chart (Figure 1) summarises the main CISRS Schemes available for Scaffolders.
2.1CISRS Scaffolder (Tube and Fitting Route)
The CISRS Scaffolder (Tube and Fitting) is the original scaffolders’ scheme. It
is aimed at scaffolding operatives who require scaffolding skills and knowledge
in using traditional tube and fitting scaffolding equipment. You can find more
information on Scaffolder Apprenticeships in section 2.4.

Once an employer or sponsor accepts an operative to be trained as a Scaffolder,
the operative must complete the 1-day New Entrant Trainee course, pass a CITB
H, S & E Test or a recognised exemption and apply for their initial CISRS trainee
Scaffolder card.
An operative must have a minimum of 6 months practical on-site experience prior
to attending Pt.1 training.
Pt.1 training courses are booked directly with an Accredited Centre. A list of
Accredited Centres and contact details can be found in Appendix I. The Pt. 1
training for tube and fitting is held over 2 weeks (10 consecutive working days
Monday to Friday).
Upon successful completion of Pt.1 training, the Trainee will be issued with a
CISRS Completion Certificate and an application form to have their Trainee Card
endorsed with the Pt.1 training for tube and fitting. The Accredited providers will
notify CITB of successful completion.
Trainees who fail to demonstrate the required levels of experience, skill and
knowledge will fail the course. They will be required to attend the 2 week course
again once they have gained sufficient experience if they wish to progress.

Trainee’s must have at least 6 months practical scaffolding experience following
the successful completion of the Pt. 1 course before they can progress to the next
stage – Pt. 2 Scaffolder training. CISRS Accredited Centres are required to check
the individual holds a valid completion certificate or an updated CISRS Trainee Card
showing proof of Pt. 1 training before accepting a booking.
Trainees then attend a further 2 week Pt. 2 training course for tube and fitting at an
Accredited Centre (10 consecutive working days Monday to Friday). Trainees do not
have to use the same Accredited Centre as attended previously.
Note: A Trainee who has completed a Pt. 1 in tube and fitting is eligible to switch
to the System Scaffolding Route and complete the Pt. 2 System Scaffolder in a
particular system scaffolding product and vice versa. If this is the case the trainee
would be expected to gather work based evidence relevant to the type of Pt. 2
course they had attended e.g. tube and fitting or system.
Following the successful completion of the Pt. 2 training for tube and fitting,
trainees will be issued with a CISRS completion certificate by the Approved Centre.
However, they will not qualify to have their card upgraded and endorsed until the
VQ2 and relevant skills test has been completed. The Accredited providers will

take place at weekends.
As of 1st January 2011 successful completion of the 1-day skills test is a
mandatory element of the CISRS scheme. This is regardless of whether the trainee
has previously achieved their VQ via another route e.g. OSAT. A CISRS card will

not be issued to those who fail to successfully complete the 1-day skills test. If a
candidate fails the skills test, they must re-sit at a later date after gaining sufficient
experience.
As an alternative to completing the VQ portfolio of work based evidence,
Employers/Sponsors can choose for Trainee’s to undertake the Experienced Worker
Practical Assessment (EWPA) route. This would negate the need to complete the
1-day skills test, for further information see section 5.2.
Trainees who cannot demonstrate the required skill level to pass the EWPA course
will be referred back to their Employer / Sponsor for further practical experience.
They may, if they wish, complete their VQ via an alternative route.
Upon successful completion of Pt1, Pt 2, VQ2, CISRS 1-day skills test and CITB
H, S & E test, or recognised exemption, Trainees can apply for the CISRS Scaffolder

Once a delegate has met all of the scheme requirements for the Advanced Course,
VQ3, 2-Day Skills test, CITB H, S & E Test or recognised exemption, they are
eligible to upgrade their card to Advanced Scaffolder (Tube and Fitting) VQ3.
Currently the Advanced Scaffolder training and assessment scheme is only available
via the Tube and Fitting route.
2.2 CISRS Scaffolder (System Scaffolding Route)
The CISRS scheme for training and assessment using proprietary system
scaffolding equipment was introduced in 2006. It is aimed at Scaffolders who
require formal training and assessment in the skills and knowledge for the use of
specific modular system scaffolding products (e.g. Cuplok). It follows the same
programme as the Tube and Fitting route and vocational qualification to level 2.
Existing CISRS record card holders can attend a CISRS 2-day System Scaffolding
Product Training Scheme (SSPTS) to have their card endorsed with a specific
CISRS recognised product. For more information about the 2-day System
Scaffolding Product Training Scheme see section 2.3.

S/NVQ Level 2
This 2-day System Scaffolding Product Training Scheme was introduced along with
the CISRS System Scaffolder scheme in recognition of the significant differences
between the various proprietary system scaffolding products covered by CISRS.
The aim of this scheme is to provide Scaffolders with skills and knowledge for safe
use in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions.
Only CISRS record card holders, who have achieved a minimum of Pt. 1 training
(in either Tube and Fitting or System) are eligible to attend these 2-day training
courses. If the operative has only completed Pt. 1 training they will still be classed
as a Trainee. They may use the specific system they have been trained in, but only
under the direct supervision of a CISRS qualified Scaffolder who also holds that
system endorsement.
16
CISRS courses are available in several
different products. Accredited Training
Centres offering product specific training
can be found in Appendix I.
Attendees who successfully complete the
training and assessment must apply to have
their CISRS record card endorsed with the
name of the specific system scaffold product
on which they have received their training.
If an operative wishes to use a 2nd type
or brand of a similar systems product e.g.
Cuplok and Genlok the employer will be
required to ensure all relevant product
information is passed onto the operative
and that the operative is aware of any
differences in product capability, erection
procedure, tie patterns etc.
This only applies to products/manufacturers
that have submitted all relevant product
information, proof of testing to European
Standards, user guide, erection and
dismantling sequence etc. to CISRS and
a CISRS approved course exists for that
product.
A list of CISRS approved product courses
can be found on the CISRS website:

2.4 Scaffolder Apprenticeships
The Scaffolder Apprenticeship programme
is held over a minimum of 18 months at
participating Accredited Centres. It includes
the training route to qualify as a CISRS
Scaffolder (Tube and Fitting or System) and
VQ Level 2. The Apprenticeship scheme is
structured to allow the trainees more time
to complete the Construction Diploma (DIP
022), attend the practical training courses
and complete VQ. See Figure 2, page 18.
Successful completion of the VQ2 1-dayskills test is a mandatory element of the
CISRS Scaffolder Apprenticeship.

BASIC ACCESS
SYSTEMS ERECTOR
The aim of this 5-day training course is to provide accredited training for nonscaffolders who erect, alter and dismantle simple and routine scaffolding structures
using specific modular system scaffolding.
The course is held over 5 consecutive working days (Monday to Friday).
The aim of this scheme is to provide operatives with limited skills and knowledge
for safe use in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions within restricted
conditions and environments.
BASE card holders are only permitted to construct simple system scaffold
structures with the product used when completing their CISRS BASE
Training. These structures must not exceed a maximum height of 6m and
must not be in an environment with a general public interface. Any works
exceeding these parameters should be carried out by a CISRS Scaffolder
or CISRS Advanced Scaffolder depending upon the scope of the work.
Upon successful completion of the training the Trainee will be issued with a BASE
Completion Certificate and an application form to apply for a BASE record card
for the specific system scaffolding product they have been trained in. They will
be required to hold a current CITB H, S & E Test or a recognised exemption. The
Accredited Centre will notify CITB of successful completion.
Once an operative has held a BASE card for a 3 year period they could be eligible
to attend a CISRS Systems Scaffold Pt. 2 course. This would be dependent upon
having the relevant experience. The Pt. 2 course would need to be carried out using
the same product e.g. Cuplok that they had completed the BASE course in. Upon
successful completion of a Pt. 2 Systems course, VQ assessment, 1-day skills test
and H,S & E Test they could apply for a System Scaffolders Card.
Please Note: A Basic Access Systems Erector is not a qualified Scaffolder
and as such is prohibited from carrying out any scaffolding operations
outside the limitations of their training course.

4. Scaffold Inspection Training Scheme (SITS)
In order to provide a nationally recognised training qualification, CISRS developed two
new scaffold inspection qualifications. The Basic and Advanced Scaffold Inspection
courses were launched in May 2010.
4.1 Retrospective Training
The issuing of CISRS SITS cards based on non-CISRS retrospective training
ceased in May 2012.
Retrospective Training can still be used as proof of prior learning provided the
applicant has completed a 2-day Basic or Advanced Scaffold Inspection Course,
with an approved CISRS Centre, within 10 years of the date of their application.
When applying for the Advanced course, the applicant must have completed their
training at least two years prior to their application.

Industry experience alone does not make a delegate eligible to attend an Advanced
SITS course. They must meet at least one of the following criteria before being
accepted onto the course:
Hold a CISRS Basic SITS card for a minimum of 2 years
Hold a CISRS Scaffolder card for a minimum of 2 years
Hold a CISRS Advanced card
Have attended a retrospective Basic Inspection course, with a CISRS
approved provider, within a 10 year period prior to their application. The

provider, within a 10 year period prior to their application.
25
Have attended a BASIC SITS course, following acceptance of historic (over
10 year period) CISRS recognised inspection training.
The requirement for an individual to hold a Scaffold Inspection card for 2
years prior to attending an Advanced SITS course will only apply to New
Entrants. New Entrants are classed as individuals who have not previously
undertaken any Scaffold inspection training or have no evidence of
previous training with an approved CISRS centre.
The 2-day Advanced Scaffold Inspection training will cover both basic and more
complex scaffolding structures. It will be aimed at professional Scaffold Inspectors,
Scaffolding Supervision and Management and others who would be responsible for
statutory scaffold inspection for more complex structures. To be eligible applicants
would need to have extensive scaffolding industry experience and have previously
attended the Basic Scaffold Inspection training course. CISRS Scaffolders,
providing they have held their card for a minimum of 2 years, and Advanced card
holders will be eligible to attend this course without having to initially attend the
SITS (Basic) course.

or Advanced) on a 5 year cycle if they wish to maintain their CISRS status and be
eligible to renew their card.
Those delegates who received a 2 year CISRS SITS card based upon retrospective
training will be required to attend the current SITS course (Basic or Advanced) in
order to renew their card.
4.5 CISRS Scaffolder, Advanced card holders
The stance of both the NASC and CISRS is that CISRS Scaffolders and Advanced
card holders are competent to inspect scaffold structures up to the grade of the
card they hold, based upon completion of their CISRS training and assessment,
and providing their employer can demonstrate they have the necessary knowledge
and experience. This will remain our position until 31st December 2014 at which
point it will become open for review.

Section 5 – Vocational Qualification
5. Vocational Qualification
CISRS is committed to vocational qualifications (S/NVQ). Where applicable, training
and assessment under the record scheme supports the achievement of National
Vocational Qualifications NVQ Diploma in Accessing Operations and Rigging
(Construction) (QCF) for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, or Scottish Vocational
Qualifications (SVQ) in Scotland.
Trainees for Scaffolder training and assessment must be registered for VQ. This is
completed through the CISRS Accredited Centres. Registration usually takes place
when the Trainee attends the CISRS Pt. 2 course.
The VQ’s currently applicable under CISRS are:
Level 1Accessing Operations & Rigging - Scaffolding(Construction)Labourers Card
Level 2Accessing Operations & Rigging - Scaffolding(Construction)Scaffolder
Level 3Accessing Operations & Rigging - Scaffolding(Construction)Advanced Scaffolder
Every VQ level has a number of Units that must be achieved. A summary of the VQ
levels and the units required can be found in Appendix G.
All core scheme (Pt. 1, Pt. 2 & Advanced) CISRS Accredited Centres are also
registered VQ assessment centres.
Please note a VQ alone does not entitle an operative to a CISRS Scaffolder or
Advanced Scaffolder Card. The applicant must meet all of the CISRS scheme
requirements which would include CISRS Pt. 1, Pt. 2, VQ2, CISRS 1-day skills
test plus a current H, S & E Test for a CISRS Scaffolder Card and CISRS Pt.1,
Pt.2, Advanced VQ3, CISRS 2-day skills test plus a current H, S & E Test for an
Advanced Card.
As of 1st January 2011 successful completion of the relevant CISRS skills test is a
mandatory element of the CISRS scheme. This is regardless of whether the trainee
has previously achieved his VQ via another route e.g. OSAT. A CISRS card will not be
issued to those who fail to successfully complete their VQ and relevant CISRS skills
test. If a candidate fails the skills test, they must re-sit at a later date after gaining
sufficient experience.
5.1 Work Based Evidence
VQ programmes followed under CISRS are based on the philosophy of train,
gain experience, gather evidence of that experience and then be assessed for
competence.
Trainees are required to compile a portfolio of work based evidence for assessment
against the relevant VQ level. Accredited Centres provide information and advice for
Trainees in gathering work based evidence and assessing the evidence against the
VQ requirements.
27
Section 5 – Vocational Qualification
The onus of gathering evidence and completing the portfolio is with the Candidate.
Employers/Sponsors should assist and support the Candidates by checking
portfolios, offering encouragement and planning work to allow Candidates to gain
the appropriate work experience required.
Candidates are assessed against the VQ at each stage of the Scaffolder training. It
is a requirement of CISRS that the majority of evidence presented must be aligned
with the training carried out. For example, when gathering evidence for the Tube
and Fitting route the portfolio must have examples of works the Candidate has
carried out in Tube and Fitting rather than Systems Scaffold.
5.2 Experienced Worker Practical Assessment (EWPA)
As an alternative to completing VQ portfolios for level 2, Candidates can undertake
a practical assessment and interview, at a participating Accredited Centre. This is
the Experience Worker Practical Assessment (EWPA), where Candidates attend
a 2-day practical assessment to prove they have the skills and knowledge to be
deemed competent.
The successful completion of EWPA would negate the requirement of attendance
and successful completion of the CISRS skills test and VQ assessment.
If the operative fails the EWPA they will be advised by the centre of alternative
methods available for completing their VQ.
To be eligible for EWPA a Candidate must have had a minimum period of 12
months practical experience after completing their CISRS Pt.1 and Pt. 2 training.
EWPA is only currently available at scaffolder Level VQ2.
5.3 On-Site Assessment and Training (OSAT)
Some Candidates may choose to achieve their VQ qualification via the OSAT route.
Please note that this route is not offered by many of the CISRS Accredited Centres.
Achievement of VQ via OSAT does not negate the requirement of attendance
and successful completion of the CISRS skills test. (1-day - Scaffolder, 2-day Advanced Scaffolder)
Section 6 – Record Cards
6. Record Cards
To comply with CISRS, an employer/sponsor must be satisfied that an operative is
suitably qualified by training and experience to be employed on given scaffolding
operations. The level of CISRS training and assessment completed determines the grade
of CISRS card issued.
The record card bears the operative’s name, unique record number and photograph.
Record cards will state the category of the scaffolder (Trainee, Scaffolder or Advanced
etc). The CISRS cards are also embossed with the CSCS logo and the CITB H, S & E
Test Hologram. Each card will also show an expiry date.
The rear of the card will show the route by which the card holder qualified for his CISRS
status. It will also show any systems scaffold endorsements he may have achieved.
A CISRS Record Card is evidence of satisfactory completion of industry approved
training and assessment.
6.1 Applying for a new record card
Application forms are available from CITB, CISRS Accredited Training Centres or by

they will be required to have completed the relevant H, S & E Test (or a recognised
exemption), within 2 years of the application date.
CISRS will issue a renewal notice to all existing card holders approximately 3 months
prior to the cards expiry. Renewal notices will be sent to the last known address.
6.4 Upgrading expired CITB/CISRS Cards
Operatives who still hold old style CITB/CISRS cards must apply for re-registration
to the CISRS scheme. They must complete the CITB H, S & E Test (or a
recognised exemption) prior to their new CISRS card being issued.
Anyone wishing to upgrade an old style CITB/CISRS card will be required to
make an appeal in writing to the Scheme Manager to explain why they have failed
to renew their card prior to this date. They will be required to complete CISRS
training, CISRS Skills test (1-day scaffolders, 2-day Advanced Scaffolders) and VQ
assessment in order to gain a CISRS card if their appeal is unsuccessful.
6.5 Lost Cards
If a record card is lost, the operative should contact the CISRS helpline (Tel:
0844 815 7223) for a replacement card. Applications can be made by post using
the application form or by telephone using a credit/debit card for payment. The
replacement card will show the same expiry date as the original.
6.6 Card withdrawal/cancellation
Record cards remain the property of CISRS, who can cancel or withdraw the card if
it becomes apparent it was issued under false pretences.
The CISRS reserves the right to take legal action against any person involved in the
production of fraudulent copies of CISRS cards.
The CISRS reserves the right to withdraw the card of any individual who is
successfully prosecuted by the HSE for contraventions of access/scaffolding health
& safety regulations.
31
6.7 Checking Record Cards
The validity of CISRS cards can be checked by contacting the CISRS helpline.
You will require 3 out of the following 5 pieces of information in order to carry out
a check: CISRS registration number, full name, address, date of birth or National
Insurance number.

6.8 ECITB/ECI Skills Database Cards
The ECI Skills Database (also known as the ECITB) has ceased issuing cards
to scaffolders. The ECI Skills database was an entirely separate scaffolder’s
registration scheme to the CISRS. No formal training or assessment was required to
obtain these cards and as such they are not recognised by CISRS.
If an ECI Skills card holder wishes to obtain a CISRS card they would be required
to meet the full CISRS scheme criteria (i.e. Pt 1, Pt. 2, VQ etc), as would any
experienced scaffolder who could not provide evidence of CISRS training.
6.9 Appeals Process
Where a grievance arises over the application of the Record Scheme rules, an
appeal may be made to the Scheme Manager.
In order to be considered there must be reasonable grounds for an appeal.
e.g. An individual has failed to complete the training and assessment programme
within the requisite timescale due to injury/ill health or, an individual has failed to
maintain their CISRS status as they have been working/living outside of the UK.
All appeals must be made in writing (e-mail is acceptable) outlining the grounds of
the appeal and must contain all relevant supporting evidence, e.g. letter from GP or
hospital, proof of employment or residence outside of the UK.
32
All appeals must include the following details (where applicable) which will assist us
in dealing with the appeal in a timely manner.
Full Name
Date of Birth
N.I. Number
CISRS card number (if registered)
Proof of old style CITB/CISRS card (photocopy/scan of card)
Proof of Training Certificates (photocopy/scan of certificates)
Supporting evidence from a CISRS Approved Training provider that training has
taken place, including course details and dates, that VQ portfolios have been
submitted and confirmation that future training/CISRS skills assessments have been
pre booked with the Training provider.
Relevant supporting evidence - letter from GP, DHSS, probationary service or
overseas visa.
An appeal request for a CISRS card based upon industry experience alone,
membership to an alternative card scheme or the achievement of a VQ in isolation,
would not constitute valid grounds for an appeal and as such would not be
considered.
Please forward appeals to:
CISRS 4th Floor
12 Bridewell Place
London, EC4V 6AP
Alternatively by email to: enquiries@cisrs.org.uk
In the first instance, appeals will be considered by the Scheme Manager. Any further
appeal may be reviewed by an Appeals Panel, made up of relevant industry parties,
with an employer and/or a union representative. Their decision will be final.
