So, what do you want to know? The NASC answers your questions and highlights the advantages of a career with an NASC member company. How much can I earn a week as a trainee? A 16-year-old is paid about £80 a week to start with, while an 18-year-old in his second year can earn around £190 a week. However, once an individual is fully trained, it is not uncommon for scaffolders at the top level to earn between £20,000 and £25,000 a year. What qualifications do I need? Ideally, you will need to have a reasonable understanding of Maths, English and Science to get on to a training programme and then to progress afterwards. What additional training is available? Well-structured training is available from NASC member companies together with the CITB - Construction Industry Training Board and recognised private training providers throughout the country. With the help of the CITB, the NASC administers the CISRS - Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Card Scheme. Who will teach me? Professional scaffolders and trainers on site, and recognised training providers. Can I go straight into trainee management? Yes. You do not necessarily need to start "on the tools". How safe is it? NASC member companies have an excellent safety record which has improved year on year, every year since 1977. What IT positions are available? Many Access and Scaffolding companies use CAD design software to help with complex construction projects. CAD designers are therefore in great demand. How good are the promotion prospects? In a word, "excellent!" Such is the growth in the construction industry that there are simply not enough skilled people to fill all the positions. So the more you are prepared to train and work, the quicker you will get on. Why should I choose an NASC Member Company? NASC member companies follow a strict code of conduct and have the most highly qualified employees in the industry. High quality training distinguishes NASC members from the rest of the Industry. The NASC works in close partnership with the CITB - Construction Industry Training Board. For further information please contact: NASC Tel: 020 7397 8120 |
