This half-day, 4h per day, face-to-face course combines theory and practical training delivered by experienced trainers with current industry knowledge. Students will develop the skills and knowledge required to identify confined space hazards, follow safe work procedures, and work safely in a confined space in accordance with a permit.
Theory training and assessment – covering confined space hazards, workplace safety requirements, permit systems, and operational procedures.
Practical training with demonstration and assessment – hands-on entry and work in a confined space under trainer supervision, including the use of relevant safety equipment.
The course uses a blended learning approach, including face-to-face exercises, workplace simulations, and integrated knowledge assessments, ensuring students gain the competency, confidence, and safety awareness needed to operate safely in confined spaces.
Assessment is conducted by qualified assessors using a combination of tools and methods, in accordance with the principles of assessment (fairness, flexibility, validity, reliability) and the rules of evidence (valid, sufficient, current, authentic). Students will be assessed as either Competent or Not Yet Competent based on their performance against the unit requirements. Assessment methods may include:
Direct observation of practical skills
Verbal questioning to assess underpinning knowledge
Written responses to theory-based questions
Portfolio evidence, including completed workplace documents or work samples
A combination of the above methods
If you are assessed as Not Yet Competent (NYC), you will have the opportunity to be reassessed. You may contact Host Safety and Training (RTO 40772) to arrange your reassessment. A reassessment fee may apply.
Reassessment will focus only on the part of the assessment that was not successfully completed.
Reassessment must be completed within 60 days of the original assessment.
If the 60-day period lapses, the full assessment may need to be repeated.
