Basic Scaffold Training Course

A basic scaffold ticket is required to erect any modular system where a person or object could fall more than 4.0 metres.

A basic scaffolding ticket enables a person to erect, alter and dismantle any modular or pre-fabricated scaffold system, e.g. aluminium mobiles, steel modular, Kwikstage and Cuplock.

The maximum height a scaffolder with a Basic Ticket may build a modular scaffold would be the maximum height as specified by the manufacturer of the particular scaffold being used.

As one person cannot safely erect a scaffold, a prerequisite of WorkSafe is that a minimum of 3 students is required for the course to go ahead.

Trainees must be over 18 years of age.

A $200 deposit is payable in advance to confirm your booking, then the balance is payable prior to the course commencement.

Your High Risk Licence is recognised nationally, we are WorkSafe and Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) compliant and are a Registered Training Office (RTO).

Once the course is completed your Notice of Assessment must be lodged at a Victorian Post Office within 60 days which will cost $64. This assessment summary then forms your interim ticket until your licence arrives in the mail.
