The Event Structures Industry Training Scheme (ESITS) provides specialist training, accreditation, and competency assurance for those working on temporary demountable structures in the events and entertainment industries. The team behind ESITS will be exhibiting at The Showman’s Show this October and will be on hand throughout to share details with relevant exhibitors and visitors.
Employers and event companies have become increasingly aware that the current scaffolder qualification scheme does not meet the specific skills and competency requirements for those working on the wide range of temporary demountable structures that are a key part of many events.
ESITS has been developed, by the industry, for the industry, to address this training and assessment need and support the events industry’s commitment to ensuring safe systems of work in their operations.
Through a structured programme of training and accreditation developed in partnership with leading businesses in the events industry, ESITS provides employers and contractors with the assurance that those accredited by the scheme have demonstrated the required levels of knowledge, skills and behaviours for the relevant qualification.
From the entry-level General Events Crew Operative (GECO) course and through to the Temporary Demountable Structures (TDS) Master qualification, the content of each stage of ESITS training has been created in collaboration with some of the UK’s leading event businesses alongside consultation with the relevant industry safety bodies.
ESITS can also provide bespoke H&S training and short-duration courses to enhance the skills and expertise of teams working on temporary demountable structures.
Some of the stand-out quotes from our latest training courses include:
