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.
Australian Standard AS2865-2009 Confined spaces requires ‘persons … be reassessed at appropriate intervals’. Industry regards reassessment on a two year cycle as good practice.
The “refresher” training is also a full-day course.
How often do you deliver confined space courses?
Public Confined Space training courses are scheduled roughly once per week at our East Bendigo Training centre.
2-Day confined space, gas test & permits courses are scheduled roughly once per month.
Additional courses may be scheduled depending on the level of demand.
Public training dates are listed on our website under Upcoming Public Courses.
If none of the dates suit, please call our office at 1300 001 201 and we’ll advise of other date options that may be available.
Where are your training centres located?
Our Bendigo Training Facility is located at 10 Trantara Court, East Bendigo, VIC 3550

How do I book in for a confined space course?
You can book in by calling our office at 1300 001 201 or online by selecting your preferred date from the list of dates under Upcoming Public Courses.
Once enrolled, you will receive an automated confirmation e-mail with full details about your upcoming booking.
Can you provide confined space training within our workplace?
Yes! We can definitely deliver workplace training. Please give us a call at 1300 001 201 to discuss your training needs further and receive a quote for on-site training.
