Apply To Enrol

Course Objective

The objective of this vocational competence qualification is to provide recognition that a candidate has demonstrated the required level of technical competence in installing and dismantling steelwork components for architectural steelwork applications—such as staircases, handrails, balustrades, and metal decking.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, candidates will demonstrate they can:

  • Understand and adhere to the relevant health, safety, and environmental legislation, including effective risk and hazard management
  • Accurately interpret method statements, risk assessments, technical drawings, and other documentation, and prepare and reinstate work areas accordingly.
  • Demonstrate the principles of moving loads safely, including following approved lift plans and categorisation methods
  • Safely move, install, and assemble steelwork components using approved techniques—covering movement, installation, and assembly with bolted joints.
  • Apply the correct procedures and use appropriate fall arrest systems when working at height on structures.
  • Competently dismantle steelwork components in accordance with approved procedures.

Assessment

Candidates are assessed against the learning outcomes through a combination of methods:

  • Online Knowledge Tests: Invigilated multiple-choice and short-answer tests set by the ECITB Awarding Organisation.
  • Observed Skills Assessments: Practical assessments conducted either in an actual workplace or under approved simulated conditions to verify the application of knowledge, skills, and behaviours.
  • Portfolio of Evidence: Documentation collated by the Approved Centre demonstrating candidate achievement across the qualification.
  • Final Technical Discussion: A recorded technical discussion with an ECITB AO assessor to confirm that all learning outcomes have been met.

Entry Requirement

There are no mandatory entry requirements. However, due to the complexity of the subject matter, it is recommended that candidates have achieved at least GCSE grade “G/1” or RQF Functional Skills Level 1 or above in English (Language) and Mathematics—or can otherwise demonstrate suitable attainment or relevant experience.

Certification

Successful candidates, having met the learning outcomes across all eight mandatory units, are awarded the ECITB Level 2 Diploma in Erecting Steelwork Components.

Summary

The ECITB Level 2 Diploma in Erecting Steelwork Components course provides a balanced blend of theoretical instruction and practical training. It is designed to ensure delegates acquire, and are assessed on, the knowledge, skills, and behaviours needed to safely install, assemble, and dismantle steelwork components in architectural applications. The course delivery includes online knowledge testing, observed practical assessments in live or simulated environments, and a final technical discussion—all aligned with the ECITB regulated requirements. Pre-course study materials are provided to aid in thorough preparation for the qualification process.
