CAB LAUNCHES CURTAIN by Adrian Toon CAB Board Director

WALLING INSTALLERS CSCS CARD

The Council for Aluminium in Building is delighted to announce that its one-day ‘ Curtain Walling Essential Knowledge Course ’ has gone live in November . The CAB course , which has been accredited by the GQA , is an introduction to curtain walling . It is intended as a revision for experienced curtain wall installers and for individuals who have little , or no knowledge of the fundamentals of this type of glazed construction .
The introductory course forms part of a mandatory module leading to the award of a newly created CAB Curtain Walling Installers CSCS Card but , it can also be used by CAB members as a valuable training tool to teach the fundamentals of curtain wall systems to staff and new employees . Since 2017 , glass , glazing or fenestration CSCS cards are only available via GQA Qualifications . CAB has partnered with GQA and CSCS to develop a route to obtain the newly created CAB Curtain Walling Installers CSCS Card .
Applications to attend the Introductory Course for the CSCS qualification will be managed by CAB and candidates can apply by completing the enrolment form which can be found on the CAB website . CAB will then liaise with candidates to book a convenient course date and the training will be carried out by a GQA Approved Training Provider . The cost to attend the one-day course is £ 249 plus VAT but CAB members will qualify for a discounted rate of £ 199 plus VAT . Training Centres will offer guidance to delegates to apply for a trainee card , temporary card or renewal card . Further information regarding the criteria and process for applying for a CAB Curtain Walling Installers CSCS card can be found on the GQA Qualifications website .
The aim of the CAB oneday Introductory Course is to offer candidates an introduction to the extensive glazed walling seen on building structures known generally as ‘ Curtain Walling ’.
