Whether working in sewers, underground tunnels, drainage systems or manufacturing plants, a confined space presents far more risks and hazards than almost any other working environment. Therefore, it is vital that confined space workers are sufficiently trained and understand all the latest developments in health and safety legislation.

This Confined Space Awareness entry-level course provides the most up-to-date information on health and safety regulations to allow employees to reduce the risks associated with working in what is a potentially dangerous environment.

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.
