What happens if I fail the requalification assessment?

If a candidate does not meet the required assessment standard, they may need to complete the full training course before being reassessed. Our team will provide guidance based on the outcome.

How long does City & Guilds confined space requalification take?

Requalification is completed within one assessment day.

When should I book requalification?

We recommend booking requalification before your certificate expiry date to avoid any lapse in qualification. Early booking ensures availability on our structured assessment days.

Can employers book group requalification days?

Yes. We can schedule dedicated assessment days for employers requiring multiple operatives to requalify at the same time, subject to availability.

City & Guilds Confined Space Requalification

INFRATEC Training now delivers City & Guilds confined space requalification for Working in Medium Risk, High Risk and Member of a Rescue and Recovery Team qualifications within the 6160 suite. This assessment only route allows experienced candidates to renew their qualification in line with City & Guilds requirements.

Requalification is designed for competent operatives whose certificates are approaching expiry and who remain active within confined space environments.

What is City & Guilds Requalification?

City & Guilds Requalification is not refresher training.

It is a formal reassessment process where:

No training delivery is provided
No revision or coaching is permitted by INFRATEC Training
Candidates complete theory and practical assessments only
Existing workplace knowledge is deemed to be their preparation

If a candidate requires additional learning input, they must attend the full course rather than the requalification route.
