Scaffolding

Certificate Only

Have you got Scaffolding unit standards and want the qualification?
You can now apply to have your scaffolding units awarded to a New Zealand Certificate. You will need to provide confirmation from your employer that you have the competencies to gain the qualification.

What you need to do:

  • New Zealand Certificate in Scaffolding Level 3 (General)
  • New Zealand Certificate in Scaffolding Level 3 (Proprietary Suspended)
  • New Zealand Certificate in Scaffolding Level 4
  • New Zealand Certificate in Scaffolding Level 5

Check you meet the entry requirements and that all unit standards are on your NZQA Record of Learning. Without these, we cannot issue a Certificate for you.

The organisation you select will:
  • Check whether you meet all the requirements of the qualification under the Certificate only process.
  • Identify any gaps in your training.

When all the requirements are met, you can complete the required assessment task with your selected organisation.

Applicants with less than two years of work experience must take the one-week practical and theory capstone assessment at TPP.

Applicants with two years or more work experience (practical builds) may have the option of taking a practical and/or theory capstone assessment task with SARNZ. See requirement for each level of qualification below:

  • Level 3: two-years work experience
  • Level 4: three-years work experience
  • Level 5: five-years work experience.

On successful completion of your assessment task, the organisation will give you a letter to confirm your achievement.
