Confined Space Awareness Training
Gain a thorough grounding in the hazards, legal requirements and safe working principles that govern confined space operations. You'll learn how to identify confined spaces, recognise atmospheric and physical hazards, apply risk assessment techniques and implement safe systems of work, giving you the knowledge to manage confined space operations responsibly and ensure the people under your supervision are protected. This course does not lead to a formal qualification but provides the foundational awareness required before progressing to competency-based confined space training.

Confined Space Awareness with Permit Writing Training
Develop a thorough understanding of the permit to work (PTW) process for confined space entry and the responsibilities that come with issuing and managing permits. You'll learn how to identify confined space hazards, carry out suitable risk assessments and apply the legal framework and safe system principles that underpin effective PTW control. This course does not lead to a formal qualification but provides the knowledge required to issue and manage permits to work for confined space entry.

Confined Space Casualty Extraction Training
Respond effectively to emergencies in medium-risk confined spaces, protecting yourself and others under pressure. You'll learn how to enter and exit confined spaces safely under emergency conditions, prepare and use breathing apparatus and rescue equipment in line with manufacturer requirements, and apply the correct techniques for extracting and recovering casualties. This course leads to a qualification valid for three years.

Confined Space Entry Controller Training
Take control of confined space operations from outside the space, managing entry and exit, monitoring personnel and equipment, and coordinating emergency response when conditions change. You'll learn how to implement pre-entry procedures, maintain communication with team members inside, interpret atmospheric monitoring readings and hand over effectively to rescue teams in an emergency.
