FAQs
Your questions, answered
What qualifications do I receive?
You’ll earn official City & Guilds (6160 series) or CITB (GET series) qualifications when completing confined‑space entrant, supervisory, or rescue/resuscitation courses. These are nationally recognised, competence‑based certifications accepted across industries. On two or three day course you normally get your card at the end of the course.
Is there an online course option?
Inspiration Training does offer e‑learning, but their confined‑spaces training is practical, in‑person only. While some health & safety topics may be covered online, confined‑spaces work requires hands‑on training and is delivered face‑to‑face .
Who needs confined‑space training?
Anyone who works in or manages access to confined spaces—for example, tanks, silos, pits, sewers, utility vaults, etc.—should get trained. That includes:
- Entrants (low to high risk)
- Supervisors and entry controllers
- Rescue and recovery team members
- Applicable across industries like construction, utilities, water treatment, waste, manufacturing, etc.
What’s included in training?
The training covers:
- Risk assessment and hazard awareness
- Safe entry and exit procedures
- Gas testing and atmospheric monitoring
- PPE and breathing apparatus
- Rescue/evacuation techniques (for rescue courses)
- Supervisor training includes planning, compliance, team control
- Registrations, certificates and cards, are all included within the course costs
How long is the qualification valid for?
All qualifications are valid for 3 years after which they must be resat. Only CITB offer dedicated refresher courses.
Do you offer refresher courses?
Yes. Inspiration Training lists refresher versions of CITB GET courses (e.g., GET2942, 3393, 3392, 3391), however none of the other training agencies offer this as they believe too many delegates forget too much over a three year period.
