Who is this course for?

This course is beneficial to dutyholders (building owners, those responsible for premises through a contract or tenancy, or those with control of a building), employers who carry out demolition, maintenance or repair, employers who carry out work which is liable to expose employees to asbestos, and anyone who works in these types of trades.

This asbestos course is especially suitable for anyone who works in professions such as:

  • Heating and ventilation engineers.
  • Demolition workers.
  • Carpenters, joiners and construction workers.
  • Plumbers.
  • Roofing contractors.
  • Painters, decorators and plasterers.
  • Fire and burglar alarm installers.
  • Shopfitters.
  • Gasfitters.
  • Computer installers and telecommunications engineers.
  • General maintenance staff.
  • Cable layers and electricians.

Note, workers who plan to carry out work that will disturb asbestos require a higher level of training which is not supplied by this course. This training does not allow you to work with asbestos-containing materials. If this is the level of training you need, then it's necessary to attend a course with practical demonstrations of control measures and personal protective equipment.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
