- In-person
- On-site
Course Overview
Ready to take your scaffolding skills to the highest level? The CPCCLSF4001 – Licence to erect, alter and dismantle scaffolding advanced level course qualifies you to build and manage complex scaffold structures, including suspended scaffolds and cantilevered platforms, often used in shutdowns, large-scale infrastructure, and multi-storey developments.
This is the final stage in the scaffolding licence pathway and is required for scaffolders working on high-risk, load-bearing or engineered access systems.
Delivered face-to-face at our Belmont training facility, this advanced scaffolding course is taught by experienced industry professionals and assessed by a WorkSafe WA licensed Assessor. If you’re looking to expand your capabilities and move into supervisory or specialised scaffold roles, this course is for you.
