Foreman Scaffolding

Target audience

The training Foreman Scaffolding teaches scaffolders with the right education, experience and capacities to become a foreman. You learn all the skills necessary to lead one or more scaffolding teams.

• Recertification: 5 years ago you got certified and it is time to renew it? Then sign up for one of the open registrations and when applying you place a request for recertification in the question/remarks section. You skip the first mentioned training date and join the training from day 2 onwards. This is fairly difficult and the instructor will go through the curriculum fairly quickly. It’s doable with a good dose of independent studying outside the course. If this sounds too much, then you just sign in for the whole training. No problem.
  
• After passing your exam, you will receive a certificate of professional competence conform ISO 17024. The certificate is valid for 5 years and during this time you are certified conform European Legislation.

Preliminary education

You have your VCA VOL and a certificate for Advanced Scaffolder or you have at least 1,5 years of relevant experience as an advanced scaffolder.
