Course assessment
Once a candidate has completed the nine topics, they will be allowed to take the assessment. The online course generates an assessment from question banks so that the questions change each time a candidate takes the test. Therefore, it makes the training suitable for initial or refresher training.
We do not limit the number of attempts at the assessment. In addition, the training course gives informative feedback so candidates can learn from incorrect responses.

When you have successfully passed the online course you will be able to download and print your certificate straight away.
You will have the RoSPA and CPD logos on your certificate, therefore you can use it to provide evidence for compliance.

The importance of Confined Space training
The Health & Safety at Work Act and the Confined Space Regulations aim to ensure people have adequate training and are competent to carry out work in a confined space.
Confined space training provides workers with the knowledge to be able to identify potential hazards and reduce the risks associated with working in a confined space. People who know the dangers are more aware and are therefore more careful. Cautious measures can save lives and reduce injuries.
A workforce, properly trained in confined spaces, will reduce accidents and, therefore, sick leave, which will save you money and will keep your workforce productive.
