Nationally Recognised Training • RTO 91826
Working in confined spaces is not routine work. Whether you are dropping into a tank, entering a sewer, or inspecting a pit, the risks are real and they can change quickly.
That’s why confined space training matters. Not just to meet requirements, but to give you the confidence to recognise when something is off and know exactly what to do.
This confined space training course covers the nationally recognised unit RIIWHS202E Enter and Work in Confined Spaces. It is designed for workers, supervisors and businesses across Australia who need practical, compliant training that reflects what actually happens on site.
You will leave with more than a confined space ticket. You will understand how to approach the job safely, how to read the environment around you and when to stop work if something is not right.
If you have ever felt unsure about a reading, a permit or whether conditions are still safe to continue, this course is designed to remove that uncertainty.

Book NowThis confined spaces course focuses on real scenarios, so the training connects directly to the work you are already doing or about to step into.
For example, you might be working in a sewer or tank where conditions feel stable at first. The training walks you through what to do when gas levels shift, communication becomes unclear or a job takes longer than expected. These are the moments where people can feel pressure to push on, and where the right decision is often to stop, reassess and reset.
You will also build a clear understanding of responsibilities on site, including PCBU duties under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Cth) and the Safe Work Australia Code of Practice: Confined Spaces. This gives you the context behind the procedures, so they feel practical rather than just administrative.
This training is designed for people who work in confined spaces, as well as those responsible for managing that work safely. Confined space risks exist across a wide range of industries, often in places that are easy to overlook until work begins.
If you are stepping into confined space work for the first time, this course gives you a clear, structured way to approach it. If you have been doing this work for years, it reinforces best practice and updates your knowledge in line with current standards.
It is also relevant for teams who want to standardise how confined space work is managed across sites, so everyone is working from the same process and expectations.

Qualification
Nationally recognised statement of attainment
Delivery mode
Face-to-face training with a mandatory practical component, or blended delivery with online theory and in-person assessment
Duration
Typically completed in one day
Assessment
Prerequisites
No formal prerequisites. Participants must be physically capable of completing practical tasks.
During the practical component, you will work through realistic scenarios using the same types of equipment and processes you would use on site. This might include testing the atmosphere of a simulated confined space, completing a permit under time pressure, or responding to a change in conditions mid-task.
These exercises are designed to build confidence. So when you are on site and something changes, you are not working it out for the first time.
Depending on your role, this course may sit alongside other high-risk training, such as working at heights, particularly where multiple hazards exist on the same job.
AlertForce delivers confined space training across Australia, with regular public courses and options for group or on-site delivery.
For teams working across metro and regional areas, this national delivery means you do not need to rely on different providers or standards. Everyone can be trained consistently, regardless of location.
Blended delivery options are also available, allowing theory components to be completed online before attending a practical session. This can make it easier to fit training around shift work and project schedules.
When you are working in a confined space, there is no room for guesswork. Training needs to be clear, practical and grounded in real conditions.
The focus is on making sure you walk away knowing exactly what to do, not just having completed a course.
That includes knowing when to pause a job, raise a concern or stop work altogether. Because in confined space work, those decisions are often what keep people safe.

A confined space ticket is the statement of attainment issued after completing RIIWHS202E. While it does not have a formal expiry date, many workplaces require refresher training every one to two years to keep skills current and aligned with site procedures.
Under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Cth) and WHS Regulations, PCBUs must ensure workers are trained and competent to carry out confined space work safely. This includes providing appropriate training, supervision and systems of work.
Some theory components can be completed online as part of a blended course. However, a face-to-face practical assessment is required to demonstrate competency in areas such as gas testing, permit systems and emergency response.
This course focuses on safely entering and working in confined spaces. Confined space rescue training is more specialised and covers advanced rescue techniques, equipment use and coordinated emergency response.
Costs vary depending on location, delivery mode and whether training is completed individually or as part of a group booking. For current pricing, check course listings or contact AlertForce directly.
