Kier North Tyneside invests in training with AIS
AIS Training has secured a contract with Kier North Tyneside to upskill its employees in scaffolding inspection at the industry’s highest level.
Kier North Tyneside will initially invest in training 24 of its employees at AIS Training’s state-of-the-art 12-acre industrial training village on North Tyneside in the Scaffolding Testing Inspection qualification by the Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme (CISRS) – widely recognised as the industry’s highest standard in scaffolding. The three-day accredited course, which AIS Training has tailored to Kier North Tyneside’s existing processes and practises, will enable employees to inspect and sign-off external scaffolding structures.
Kier regional director, Mike Furze said: said: “At Kier, we are committed to investing in our workforce to not only improve skillsets but also to keep raising industry standards.
“We chose AIS Training to deliver this training because of the high quality facilities and tuition. The company has invested heavily in the region over the past few years and now offers a unique training proposition in the North East.”
David John Adams from AIS Training said: “We are delighted to be working with Kier North Tyneside on this prestigious project to upskill its workforce. There are huge skills shortages within the scaffolding sector and Kier North Tyneside’s investment will help to boost skills levels within the North East region.”
