Scaffold Design Training Course
Scaffold Design Decoded
Principles of Scaffold Engineering
Scaffold Design Decoded is a practical blended scaffold design appreciation course that helps contractors, temporary works coordinators, managers and construction professionals understand when design input is needed, what good design information looks like, and how better briefs, drawings and communication support safer project delivery.
Who is the course for?
Scaffold Design Decoded is designed for people who are involved with scaffolds, procurement, supervision, management, and who need to better understand the design process and how it affects project delivery.
Scaffolding Teams
Scaffolders, supervisors, contract managers, estimators, scaffold inspectors and managers who need to better understand the scaffold design process and how it affects project delivery.
Temporary Works Professionals
Temporary works coordinators, temporary works engineers and others involved in reviewing, coordinating or managing scaffold design information within a wider project environment.
Principal Contractors and Project Teams
Principal contractors, subcontractors, site agents and project teams who need to understand when scaffold design input is needed and how better briefs, drawings and communication support safer, smoother project delivery.
What delegates will gain
Delegates will leave the course with a clearer understanding of how scaffold design fits within the wider project process and how better decisions can support safer, smoother and more effective project delivery.
Interpret design information
Improve project communication
Make better project decisions
Know when design input is needed
Understand key technical principles
The blended format also gives delegates flexibility, allowing them to complete the online learning in their own time before attending the practical session.
Blended course format
1
Online learning
Delegates complete approximately 8 hours of self-paced online learning through the bespoke AXS LMS platform before attending the practical day.
2
Face-to-face session
Delegates then attend a full practical training day focused on discussion, worked examples, demonstrations and application of the online learning.
3
Blended learning
This structure allows delegates to complete the core learning flexibly in their own time before using the face-to-face session for practical understanding and application.
Note: The online learning must be completed in full before attending the face-to-face training day. AXS will review completion records before the event.
Scaffold Design Decoded is delivered as a blended learning programme combining self-paced online learning with a face-to-face practical day.
What the course covers
The course gives delegates a practical understanding of scaffold design from framework through to real project application.
Key areas include:
legislation, standards and guidance
temporary works process and responsibilities
design process, briefs and site visits
design risk assessment
design drawings and design information

design checks
real project case study
Why this course is different
Practical, not academic
Focused on real scaffold projects, real decisions and real design information.
Built for a wider industry audience
Designed to improve understanding across teams, not to train scaffold designers.
Developed by experienced AXS directors
Created by the AXS directors with extensive experience in scaffold design. Their combined experience of more than 60 years helps ensure the course is grounded in real industry practice, commercial reality and practical project delivery.
