2 Course Bundle - Gas Test Atmospheres & Enter and Work in Confined Spaces - Course Information

This combined course provides the essential knowledge and hands-on skills required to safely test and monitor hazardous atmospheres and work in confined spaces. It is suitable for workers across mining, construction, civil, resources, maintenance, utilities, and industrial services.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Conduct gas testing and atmospheric monitoring using industry-approved equipment

  • Safely plan, enter, work in, and exit confined spaces

  • Apply hazard controls and follow safe operating procedures

  • Identify, assess, and control confined space hazards

  • Follow emergency procedures for gas-related and confined space incidents

  • Communicate effectively and work as part of a team in high-risk environments

  • Apply relevant legislation, standards, and site safety requirements

Course delivery and assessment

In order to provide you with the best learning outcomes possible, this course is delivered via a mix of online learning and face-to-face training. You will be assigned an experienced Trainer Assessor for support throughout your course.

Step 1 - Complete theory module online 

The online modules are self-paced and include quizzes, written tasks, and scenario-based exercises to test your knowledge.

Step 2 - Attend 1 day of face-to-face training

Your trainer will give you practical tasks to complete based on the information you’ve learned in your online theory module.

You will need to pass both steps in order to successfully complete the course.
