NATIONALLY-RECOGNISED INTERMEDIATE SCAFFOLDING TRAINING IN PERTH

This Intermediate Scaffolding course expects that the student has completed Level 1 of scaffolding training, has passed its verification of competency and has acquired its high-risk work licence on Basic Scaffolding. 

Intermediate Scaffolding is required to further an individual’s scaffolding abilities and qualifications to legally work in the construction, maintenance and utility industries. After learning the foundations and principles and acquiring skills in basic scaffolding, part 2 of Scaffolding training involves training to work on scaffolding in loading platforms as well as determining and reporting faulty scaffolding. Saferight is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO Code 5722) that conducts nationally accredited Intermediate Scaffolding training courses in Perth for groups and individuals seeking a Certificate III (Cert 3) in Scaffolding and other licences in the industry.

With a nationally-recognised Scaffolding Intermediate licence, individuals can safely work in high-risk industries not limited to the construction and utility trade. With a Cert 3 Scaffolding licence, you can apply to a diverse range of projects and environments that require the planning and construction of working platforms. Following this Intermediate Scaffolding course, Saferight also conducts Advanced Scaffolding training in Perth for those required to have a scaffolding ticket licence to operate on hung or suspended scaffolding. Once you have completed all All Levels of Scaffolding Training and have passed your Verification of Competency, you are now eligible to work on Scaffolding Jobs in Australia.
