Scaffolder Apprenticeships & Qualifications

About our scaffolder courses

Apprenticeships are a great way to develop your career as a scaffolder. 

If you're already employed as a trainee or a labourer, you can ask your employer about an apprenticeship, so you can get a formal qualification while you learn on the job.

One you've completed your apprenticeship, this will enable you to progress your career as a gang supervisor, a site safety inspector or a scaffolding designer. It could also open the door for you to work in other areas of construction.
