City & Guilds 6160-02 Confined Space Medium Risk Entrant
The City and Guild’s Level 2 Award in Working in Medium-Risk Confined Spaces Course (6160-02) equips delegates with the necessary skills and knowledge to work safely in classified medium-risk confined spaces. Delegates will learn and understand the procedures and equipment they require to perform their tasks safely while keeping in line with industry standards and regulations.
This course aims to educate delegates with content that reflects the national occupational standard (NOS) for medium-risk related confined space environments - NC2 and NC3 classifications.
A reasonably physically demanding course, a high proportion of the learning and assessment is practical, including confined space entry only. The practical elements are supplemented with classroom-based tutorials to prepare delegates for a final examination at the end of day two.
Our course-specific trainers will coach delegates over the two-day course, finishing with a practical observation and short answer question paper assessment, both of which they must pass to qualify.
