Advanced Confined Space Training Overview

THIS IS NOT AN ATTENDANCE COURSE. THIS IS NOT A TICK IN THE BOX COURSE. IF YOU ARE AFTER REAL TRAINING THIS IS THE COURSE FOR YOU, IF NOT GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

This 5 day advanced confined space training is a premium course designed for those wanting to get involved in standby rescue, become a rescue technician or develop existing rescue skills as a dedicated team member of an Emergency Response Team (ERT).

We MAX the course at 8 students so we can give individual attention as needed, to enable you or your team to be confident and proficient as members of a rescue team.

If you’re serious about rescue, this is the course for you. It will be hard, intense, make you think on your feet or on your belly.

You know what they say good training isn’t cheap and cheap training isn’t good.

This advanced confined space rescue training covers all the information from our 3 Day confined space entry and standby training but will also include training for personnel who need to know how to operate breathing apparatus for work and rescue purposes including self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). And most of all, be able to perform complex rescue in confined spaces as part of a Confined Space Rescue Team

In order to safety supervise and run a confined space project you may require our advanced training, although you may not need to enter the space yourself, you need to be aware of the risks and equipment checks that need to be in place to adequately protect people under your control.

The advanced training is designed for workers requiring training in safely working in confined space at work sites within:

Civil construction
Coal mining
Drilling
Extractive industries
Metalliferous mining
Surveying
Naval
Aviation
Military
Public service
