Each scaffolding course runs for 5 days (Monday–Friday). Your accommodation planning depends on which certifications you’re pursuing:

Need alternative arrangements?
We understand regional workers face unique challenges. We can arrange group bookings for customised scheduling
We work hard to accommodate regional workers’ needs, however, customised scheduling requires minimum group numbers. Reach out to our team early so we can assist in planning the best option for you.
Onsite accommodation and airport pick up/drop off
Travelling for training can feel expensive. We’ve taken the sting out of it with affordable on-site accommodation from $80 per night including GST, so you can keep costs under control while you complete your course.
Getting here is straightforward. Many students fly into Brisbane or the Gold Coast, then grab a rental car or short taxi ride to our Richlands facility. We also offer complimentary transfers from Brisbane Airport to make the trip even easier.

Many of our scaffolding courses are eligible for subsidised training through Construction Skills Queensland (CSQ). Eligible participants may receive significant cost reductions or, in some cases, fully funded training. Give our team a call or check our latest price list for more information.

FAQs
Is Brisbane scaffolding training recognised interstate?
Absolutely. Your High Risk Work Licence is recognised Australia-wide regardless of where you complete training. The advantage of Brisbane training is the quality of facilities and industry connections, not geographical restrictions.
Can I do weekend scaffolding training?
Our standard schedule is Monday–Friday daytime. Weekend or evening training may be available for group bookings with minimum numbers. Contact Kevin directly to discuss specialised scheduling options and feasibility.
Do I need experience before starting scaffolding training?
No prior experience is required for Basic Scaffolding certification. However, you must be physically capable of working at heights and meet basic safety requirements. Intermediate and Advanced levels require prior scaffolding certifications.
If I need accommodation, how far in advance should I book?
Our accommodation is available for all regional, remote and interstate clients and does fill up fast. We recommend you try book in early to secure your place in both the accommodation and course.
