What this course covers

ScaffSkills is a practical management training course built for scaffolding businesses. Not adapted from a generic construction management programme. Not written for main contractors or project managers. Written for the people running scaffolding subcontracts on live sites.

The eight modules cover the commercial and management knowledge that most scaffolding managers pick up the hard way, over years, if they're lucky enough to work alongside someone who knows it. This course covers it directly.
