FAQ & ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

How often should i complete confined space training?

Confined Space competency does not formally have an expiry date. However, it is industry standard to complete the training again (refresh) every 2 years.

The “refresher” training is also a full-day course.

Additional courses may be scheduled depending on the level of demand. Scheduled dates are all listed on our website.
