this is food for thought CITB or CISRS...
Many Many years ago when I completed my scaffolding courses at Bircham Newton, the course was run and delivered by the CITB - with a CITB plastic card issued on completion stating basic or advanced. some years after the CISRS undertook the scheme and issued the CISRS cards. The course contents, aims and objectives were kept the same with some minor things being changed through the years. the point is for me the CITB was the original founder of the scaffold courses which progressed into what we have today.
Comments were made on scaff-mags website about the above conversation its a shame that CITB decided to stand back after what many people have paid for the courses. unfortunately the training in the middle east lasts for 1 week while the training in the uk lasts 2 weeks per course.
it would be interesting to hear peoples thoughts on the above
