Professional development
NASAC is dedicated to elevating industry standards through training and education. In partnership with Laois Offaly ETB, we have introduced initiatives such as:
- The Level 5 Scaffolding Apprenticeship Programme, designed to address the complexities of scaffolding design and erection. This two-year programme equip scaffolders with essential skills and confidence, with employers already recognising its value.
- A Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process for experienced scaffolders to gain qualifications equivalent to the apprenticeship. This programme has offered new pathways for professional growth.
