If you’re not sure about what course best suits your needs, please contact us here or call 1800 143 343.
Most businesses that work with WAM Training have their staff recomplete their Breathing Apparatus Course every 1-2 years.
If using breathing apparaus in confined spaces, it is important to know that Australian Standard AS2865 Confined spaces states that Persons shall be reassessed at appropriate intervals to ensure their ongoing competency to perform activities relevant to their entry and work associated with confined spaces.
Essentially, that means that retraining should be something which is planned for at an interval which takes into account the risk associated with the tasks being undertaken.
Ultimately, it is up to the employer to set a policy on how often they will retrain their staff in confined space entry.
Our Advanced Confined Space Entry Course fee is $530 (GST Exempt) per person.
Upon successful completion of our Advanced Confined Space Entry Course, Trainees will be issued with a Proof of Training Card as well as a Statement of Attainment validating their skills and knowledge.
WAM Training’s Advanced Confined Space Entry Course takes one day, from 7:45am to 4:00pm. As soon as you make your booking, you’ll receive our Advanced Confined Space Entry Course Handbook which we recommend you study before attending.
