Course overview

The ICTQual AB Level 6 Diploma in Supporting Structures (SUP) is an advanced qualification for experienced construction professionals, site supervisors, and safety managers responsible for the planning, installation, and management of temporary and permanent supporting structures. The course focuses on high-level theoretical and practical knowledge required to safely manage scaffolding, shoring, propping systems, and other structural support equipment used in complex construction, civil engineering, and industrial projects. Learners gain in-depth understanding of statutory regulations, legal responsibilities, and compliance with UK and international safety standards.

Participants develop expert skills in structural analysis, load assessment, stability management, and equipment selection for complex and high-risk projects. Core modules cover advanced hazard identification, inspection techniques, maintenance planning, risk mitigation, and emergency response procedures. The program combines classroom learning, case studies, and hands-on practical exercises to ensure learners can manage supporting structures efficiently while minimizing risks of collapse, equipment failure, and site accidents.

This diploma is ideal for senior site operatives, structural engineers, and safety leaders seeking to enhance operational control and technical expertise in supporting structure management. It supports career progression by strengthening leadership skills, promoting safe systems of work, and ensuring the efficient, compliant installation and maintenance of temporary and permanent structures in high-demand, high-risk construction environments.
