Course Details
Confined Space Refresher Course
Structured to reinforce your existing confined space skills and knowledge, WAM Training’s Confined Space Refresher Course is a blend of theory, group work and practical training delivered over one day.
Language, literacy, numeracy and digital skills requirements
Trainees must be able to speak English clearly, understand and complete worksite documentation and explain and describe issues relating to confined space entry.
Our expert Trainers will guide and support you throughout the learning process. However, please note that the formal assessments are closed-book.
To give you an idea of the language, literacy, numeracy and digital skills required, here are five example questions similar in complexity to what you’ll encounter during the course:
- List four hazards that may be present during confined space work, excluding atmospheric hazards
- Describe the purpose of a Confined Space Permit and explain why it is required before entering a confined space
- Explain two methods for maintaining communication between entrants and the stand-by person during confined space work
- What is the maximum safe gas concentration for Carbon Monoxide before a gas detector must alarm?
- What action should you take if the actual site conditions differ from what is listed in the Risk Assessment or Entry Permit?
If you’re not sure whether your Language, Literacy, Numeracy or Digital Literacy skills are suitable for this course, please contact WAM Training by calling 1800 143 343 so that we can provide you with a Language, Literacy, Numeracy and Digital Assessment to help determine your readiness.
Is additional support available?
WAM Training has the following support services available to help you succeed in your training:
- A team of Training Support Officers to guide you through enrolment and your training journey
- Access to our Training Manager, who can help schedule further training if needed
- Additional classroom-based training sessions at no extra cost
- One-on-one training available (additional fees may apply)
- Accessible facilities, including a disabled toilet and on-site parking
If you require additional support with language, literacy, numeracy or digital skills, we can refer you to both informal and formal learning options to help you prepare for your course.
We can also provide information about external support services that specialise in mental health, crisis assistance and wellbeing.
If you feel like you might need some extra support, please call WAM Training on 1800 143 343 for a chat about how we can support you.

Frequently Asked Questions
WAM Training offers four courses relevant to confined space entry, so that you can choose the right course to suit your workplace:
- Basic Confined Space Entry Course – Covering the basics of confined space entry and meeting the requirements for individuals needing to work in confined spaces, this course is condensed into one day because the group size is limited to 6.
- Advanced Confined Space Entry Course – This course delves deeper into each of the confined space subjects and the Units of Competency issued to successful applicants meet the requirements of many Water Boards.
- Confined Space Refresher Course – This course is for individuals who have already completed nationally recognised confined space entry in the past, and are looking to refresh their skills to maintain training compliance with Australian Standard AS2865 Confined spaces.
- Breathing Apparatus Course – This course is dedicated entirely to training how to select, inspect and use breathing apparatus in a range of situations, including confined spaces.
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 Confined Space Refresher Course fee is $297 (Inc. GST) per person.
Upon successful completion of our Confined Space Refresher Course, Trainees will be issued with a Statement of Achievement listing the subjects in which they’ve been refreshed. Pairing this with a Statement of Attainment from the Trainees’ original confined space course is the perfect way to prove currency of their skills and knowledge.
WAM Training’s Confined Space Refresher Course takes one day, from 7:45am to 2:00pm. As soon as you make your booking, you’ll receive our Confined Space Refresher Course Handbook which we recommend you study before attending.
More often than not, when someone fails WAM Training’s Confined Space Refresher Course, it’s due to not paying attention. Our highly experienced Trainers have worked with hundreds, if not thousands of Trainees to help them refresh their confined space skills and knowledge. But at the end of the day, it’s up to you to pay attention and participate during your Breathing Apparatus Course.
