Erect and Dismantle Aluminium Alloy Scaffolding Training

Learning Outcomes

• Demonstrate knowledge of relevant safety regulations, standards, and scaffold component specifications.
• Plan scaffold erection including site assessment, load calculations, and component selection.
• Erect aluminium alloy scaffolding safely using correct assembly procedures and bracing.
• Inspect scaffolding for defects, stability, and compliance before use and during dismantling.
• Dismantle scaffolding in a systematic sequence without compromising structural integrity.
• Apply fall protection, safe handling techniques, and emergency response procedures.

Target Audience

This course is intended for construction workers, scaffold erectors, site supervisors, and safety officers who are required to erect and dismantle aluminium alloy scaffolding as part of their job functions.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment. However, learners should be physically fit and able to work at heights.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Learners will work in teams to erect and dismantle a basic aluminium alloy scaffold under supervision. Practical sessions reinforce theoretical knowledge through hands-on assembly, inspection, and safe dismantling.

Practical Activities

• Component Identification and Pre-Use Inspection — Learners identify all scaffold components and perform a pre-use inspection, checking for damage, corrosion, and compliance with specifications. (1h)
• Erecting a Basic Scaffold — In teams, learners erect a single-bay scaffold following safe erection procedures, including base setup, bracing, platform installation, and guardrails. (1h)
• Dismantling and Housekeeping — Learners dismantle the scaffold in reverse order, safely lowering components, and perform site housekeeping. (1h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
