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.
