The Event Structures Industry Training Scheme (ESITS) continues to strengthen its position as a leading provider of specialist training within the events and temporary structures sector, with an exciting new expansion into Yorkshire.
As part of its ongoing growth, ESITS is now delivering its entry-level General Events Crew Operative (GECO) course at Creator Scaffold Designs, a respected scaffold design and temporary works consultancy based in Rotherham.
A Growing National Training Network
ESITS was established to address a clear gap in industry-specific training for those working on temporary demountable structures (TDS), ensuring workers are equipped with the knowledge, skills and behaviours required to operate safely and effectively.
This latest move into Yorkshire reflects ESITS’s commitment to expanding access to high-quality, accredited training across the UK. By partnering with established industry organisations like Creator Scaffold Designs, ESITS is making it easier for individuals and employers to access recognised qualifications closer to home.
Strengthening the Future Workforce
This expansion marks another positive step forward for ESITS as it continues to develop a nationally recognised framework for competency in event structures. By increasing the availability of the GECO course in regions like Yorkshire, ESITS is helping to support workforce development, improve safety standards, and create clearer career pathways within the industry.
With demand for skilled, accredited professionals continuing to rise, initiatives like this ensure that both new entrants and experienced workers have access to the training they need to succeed.
Looking Ahead
With further regional partnerships already being explored, ESITS shows no signs of slowing its expansion. The introduction of training hubs like the Yorkshire location not only increases accessibility but also reinforces the organisation’s long-term vision of raising standards across the entire events industry through consistent, high-quality training delivery.
