Questions

When do the courses start?

Each course opens when enough people have registered interest. Everyone on the list hears first, with dates, language and price. The Saudi Aramco certificate prep courses (A1 to A4) open first.

Are these accredited cards?

Courses marked "AL-YASSIN certificate" give a certificate of completion or attendance from AL-YASSIN, verifiable on our website. They are not CISRS cards and not Saudi Aramco certification. The practical scaffolder courses (W2, W3) are planned with a licensed training partner so that they can lead to an accredited card.

Can you train our crew at our site?

That is what the in-house format is for. Register interest with the number of trainees, the site and the languages your crew speaks.

Does registering cost anything?

No. Registering interest is free and does not commit you to anything.
