What Does a Competent Scaffolding Course Include? A Detailed Overview
Scaffolding is an essential tool on many construction sites and in maintenance work, but improper use can lead to serious accidents. It is therefore crucial that everyone who will work on or with scaffolding receives thorough training through a competent scaffolding course. But what do you actually learn on such a course? Here you will get a detailed overview of the content of a good scaffolding course – whether you choose an online course or a physical course.
What Do You Learn on a Scaffolding Course?
A complete scaffolding course covers all important aspects of safe and correct use of scaffolding, so you can work safely and efficiently.

You will learn about different types of scaffolding, their structure and uses. Understanding the structure of scaffolding is important in order to be able to set it up and use it correctly.

The course provides a thorough introduction to laws, regulations and standards related to working on scaffolding. This includes requirements for fall protection, loading and inspection routines.
3. Erection and dismantling of scaffolding
Here you will receive training in the safe erection and dismantling of scaffolding, with a focus on avoiding dangerous situations and ensuring good stability.

Fall protection is an integral part of scaffolding work. You will learn how to use fall protection equipment correctly, how to check the equipment, and what routines apply when working at height.
5. Inspection and maintenance
The course includes how to perform safety checks on scaffolding both before use and during work, as well as maintenance routines to maintain safety.
6. Practical exercises (on physical courses)
