About the Course:

Our Confined Space Entry course is for those who are required to enter and work in confined spaces. This course is run at our training venue in Rockingham for a full day. During the course you will complete theory training before you complete a written assessment; and participate in practical training before completing the practical assessment.

If you have previously completed Confined Space Entry training we also offer a half day refresher course. Please click here for more information.

There is no need to complete any study prior to attending the course, however if you would like a copy of the learner guide before attending, you are welcome to collect a copy at our office, alternatively we can email you a PDF copy.

*If you have language or learning difficulties please note that there is a level of reading, writing and numeracy required to complete this course with us. Please scroll down to the LLN information below for what this means.

Course Information:

• Duration – One full day at our training venue.
• Method –Face-to-face training and assessment, you will complete both a written and practical assessment.
• This unit of competency is nationally recognised, those who complete this course successfully will be issued with a Statement of Attainment for RIIWHS202E Enter and work in confined spaces
• Confined Space Entry DOES NOT lead to a High Risk Work Licence

What the course covers:

• How to plan and prepare to enter and work in a confined space
• How to gain access and work in a confined space
• How to exit the confined space correctly
• How to clean up the work area when finished working in confined spaces

Entry Requirements:

There is no formal pre-requisite unit of competency required, however candidates MUST;

• Be able to understand, read and write English and have a basic concept of numerical values (for further information on the level ability required, scroll down to ‘LLN’ below)
• Be at least 16 years of age or over
• Bring 1 form of primary identification
• Wear non-slip enclosed shoes

*LLN – Language, Literacy and Numeracy Requirements:

To satisfactorily complete this training with us, learners need to be able to understand, read and write basic English and have a basic understanding of numerical values.

For example, at the very least, the learner would need to be able to (without assistance) READ and WRITE by following simple instructions like;

Look at the Risk Assessment

Find ‘Confirm Task’

Write down what the ‘Potential Hazards’ are.

As an example of understanding numerical values a learner would need to have to satisfactorily complete this course with us, see the problem below;

For work carried out in a confined space, the percentage of LEL must be less than 5% for hot work.

If the LEL is greater than 5%, but less than 10%, the confined space may be entered, but no hot work can be done.

Question 1: If the LEL is 7.5%, can you enter the confined space?

Question 2: If you can enter, could you perform hot work?

Answer 1 = Yes, Answer 2 = No

Learning Support:

While understanding numerical values, reading and writing basic English is required, there are some adjustments that can be made if required.

For example, we can offer:

• Training material and assessments in larger print or on coloured paper (learners need to advise preferred colour prior to attending).
• Additional theory and/or practical training.
• Re-assessment opportunities following further training.
• Oral assessment
  • Oral assessment may be offered only after a candidate has attempted the written assessment.
  • All candidates who complete the theory assessment orally, are required to complete a supplementary assessment to demonstrate they are able to read, understand and write basic English and understand numerical values.
  • The supplementary assessment is similar to the examples given in LLN above and must be successfully completed by the candidate (on their own).
  • An oral assessment may not be able to be conducted on the same day the written assessment is attempted, as it requires a trainer to conduct it one on one with the candidate.
  • When a candidate successfully completes an oral assessment, they will then be required to successfully complete the practical assessment to be judged as competent

Course Location:

The course is conducted at our training venue in Rockingham – Unit 1, 8 Day Road, East Rockingham, Western Australia.
