Strategic Purpose Statement |
The National Certificate in Scaffolding (Level 4) with strands in Advanced Scaffolding, and Suspended Scaffolding [Ref: 0110] recognises the skills and knowledge required to work as a specialist scaffolder. The term 'advanced' refers to the range of equipment used and the level of competence of the qualification holder. 'Suspended' refers to a specialised area of scaffolding work.
Holders of the National Certificate with the Advanced Scaffolding strand are those whose work is in the planning and erection of 'tube and clip' scaffolds to meet the highest demands found in the scaffolding industry. This is the highest level qualification available in this industry. Holders of the National Certificate with the Suspended Scaffolding strand are those whose work is in relation to cable supported scaffolds in their various configurations. Within the industry it is generally recognised that a person who can construct a scaffold with 'tube and clip' materials can be considered competent to construct a scaffold utilising prefabricated components. The reverse is not the case. The strands in this qualification are prerequisites to the award of a Suspended Scaffolding Certificate of Competence and an Advanced Scaffolding Certificate of Competence, endorsed for the appropriate classes as specified in the Health and Safety in Employment Regulations 1995. The Suspended Scaffolding Certificate of Competence consists of two classes, A. Boatswains chair - hand held or mechanical and B. Swinging stage - hand held or mechanical. The Advanced Scaffolding Certificate of Competence classes for which the Advanced Scaffolding strand of this qualification is a prerequisite are as follows: D. Bracket scaffolding for tank and formwork, E. Cantilevered scaffolding, H. Hung scaffolding - including chain and wire rope, I. Loading platforms cantilevered from scaffolding, K. Safety nets for public protection, N. Spurred scaffolding. Candidates should note that the Department of Labour or its authorised Issuing agency, in this case Opportunity - The Training Organisation, may apply additional factors in relation to the award of Certificates of Competence, such as experience requirements. For these details refer to here. Standards in the compulsory section of this qualification are included in the National Certificate in Scaffolding (Elementary) (Level 3) [Ref: 1352], and the compulsory section of the National Certificate in Rigging with strands in Basic Rigging, Intermediate Rigging, and Advanced Rigging [Ref: 0111]. This enables people to change direction in their work or add further skills should they wish to do so. |
