If you live or work in a Greater Manchester Combined Authority Postcode, you could be eligible to take the next step on your career progression ladder by securing a place on a fully funded CISRS Scaffolding training course!
We have secured a limited amount of skills training funding for those that either live, work or are employed in the Greater Manchester Combined Authority area, and this can be used for CISRS Part One, Two and Advanced Scaffolder Training.
The funding, secured via North West Skills Academy Limited (NWSA) and GMCA , will be used upskill Greater Manchester’s workforce, and the application process is open to any individual who has a current CISRS card, ranging from CISRS COTS to Part 2.
NWSA was awarded the funding by Greater Manchester Combined Authority as part of its three-year Skills for Growth programme . Skills for Growth is funded through the European Social Fund and aims to plug the skills gaps in priority sectors across Greater Manchester as outlined in the Combined Authority’s Local Industrial Strategy.

Sam Riley, CEO of NWSA, said, “We’re excited at the opportunity of expanding our offering into scaffolding, which is a new initiative for us. SIMIAN is the largest and most renowned provider of CISRS training in the region and we’re delighted that working with them will give NWSA the opportunity to bring direct skills benefits to the employers and residents of the GMCA area.”
Speaking of the initiative, Natalie Hadfield, Apprenticeship Manager at SIMIAN, said, “We’re thrilled to have been able to tap into this upskilling fund, as it gives GMCA residents and workers the opportunity to progress, with the potential of having increased earning capability. It’s a small piece of good news in what has generally been a very challenging couple of years for almost everybody.”
