Basic Scaffolding Ticket
The basic scaffolding ticket (CPCCLSF2001) is where every scaffolding career in Australia starts - covering the legal erection, alteration, and dismantling of tube and fitting scaffolds, modular and prefabricated systems, cantilevered material hoists, bracket scaffolds, static lines, gin wheels, and safety nets.
Shamrock Training in Northgate Brisbane delivers the SB licence with hands-on practical training across all scaffold types covered by the unit. On successful completion, you are eligible to apply for your SB High Risk Work Licence through Workplace Health and Safety Queensland and progress to Intermediate Scaffolding (CPCCLSF3001).
