EIDPMO has been informed that the CITB “Construction Industry Training Board” would cease global accreditation from the 31st December 2016. This matter has been raised as a concern to the Authority.
EIDPMO wishes to work with Industry and the recognized training providers for scaffolding, in ensuring that existing and new entrants considering the scaffolding profession, are not hindered by this restriction in accreditation.
The identified training providers will continue to provide scaffolding training using the CITB methodology and standard, and ensure, that all candidates are suitably certified by the respective training providers. Certificate validity shall not exceed three years from the date of issue.
Megamas Training Company Sdn Bhd has provided EIDPMO with the assurance that they will continue to meet the standards and certification requirements in accordance with the Authority’s expectations and the law.
WAY FORWARD
With effect from 1st January 2017, all Brunei registered companies, may continue to accept trained scaffolders with certification, from the training providers listed above. In the instance, where scaffolders approach companies with training certification from anywhere else, it remains the company’s accountability to ensure they are adequately trained and qualified.
