Hello everyone,
I signed up here yesterday and I've been doing quite a bit of reading.
I live in West London and I'm looking to get into the scaffolding industry. I've been looking into the processes of becoming a qualified scaffolder and in hindsight it sure doesn't seem to be very forgiving
So the steps that I have taken so far:
I've passed the CSCS test, so that's out the way.
I think this step seems to be the hardest part. I've been ringing lots of scaffolding firms asking them to see if they're taking on any trainee scaffolders / labourers. None seem to have any positions.
It seems in order to get into the Part 1 course you need 6 months experience on a scaffolding site. My main concern is how can I ever get into this course when no one wants to take me on as a trainee :sad2:
So what can I do now as I'm stuck and don't know what steps I should be taking next?
I'm even keen to do some voluntary work
Can anyone here help me get some work as a trainee scaffolder / labourer ?
Highly appreciate any decent feedback and support.
Thanks a billion :amuse:
