The scaffolding user training course is intended for individuals who will be working from scaffolding but will not be assembling, modifying, or dismantling it.
Take the theory course online—get familiar with scaffolding on the job
Before using the scaffolding, your employer must ensure that the scaffolding in question is inspected. A person with the necessary expertise will show you the access points, load limits, signage, and what to do if there are any defects. This course covers the use of scaffolding. Assembly, modification, and dismantling require separate training.
A qualified colleague or partner can conduct the on-site briefing. You must understand how to use the scaffolding safely before work begins. User training does not include the same set number of practical hours as training for scaffolders.
Estimated time for the online course: 1–2 hours. In addition, there will be a review of the scaffolding in question and local procedures at the worksite.
In a nutshell: Take the theory course online. Then review the relevant scaffolding and local procedures at your workplace.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a scaffolding user build scaffolding?
No. The user course is not a training course for scaffolders. Erecting, modifying, and dismantling scaffolding requires proper scaffolding training and hands-on practice.
Will I receive a course certificate?
Yes. Participants receive a course certificate upon passing the theory exam. On-site review is documented separately.
Would you like to order now?
Provide employees with a brief overview of the theory before they begin working on scaffolding.
