National Certificate in Advanced Scaffolding (Level 5)

The National Certificate in Advanced Scaffolding (Level 5) builds upon skills and knowledge already gained in first and second-level scaffolding, and recognises the skills required of a supervisory scaffolder. It is designed to equip a supervisory scaffolder with all the necessary skills and knowledge expected within the industry and is therefore comprised of a single compulsory selection of standards. The holder of the qualification is able to manage advanced components of, and apply design principles in order to, design, plan, erect and dismantle multifaceted scaffolding structures, including suspended scaffolding structures.

This qualification is a prerequisite for the award of the following classes of endorsements within an Advanced Certificate of Competence in Scaffolding, as specified in the Health and Safety in Employment Regulations 1995:
. D. Bracket scaffolding for tank and formwork
. E. Cantilevered scaffolding
. H. Hung scaffolding - including chain and wire rope
. I. Loading platforms cantilevered from scaffolding
. K. Safety nets for public protection.

Candidates should note that the Department of Labour or its authorised Issuing agency (The Skills Organisation) may apply additional factors in relation to the award of the Advanced Certificate of Competence in Scaffolding, such as experience requirements. When necessary, more details will be available by referring to http://www.skills.org.nz.

Study and training towards the National Certificate in Suspended Scaffolding (Level 4) [Ref: 1771], can be undertaken concurrently with this qualification, where the award of Ref: 1771 is pre-requisite for the award of this qualification.
