Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need my own gas detector for the course?
No, all necessary equipment, including gas detectors, will be provided during training. However, if you have a specific model used at your workplace, you’re welcome to bring it for familiarisation.
Will this certification allow me to work in confined spaces?
No, not on its own. While this course covers gas testing in confined spaces, you may also need a Confined Space Entry certification, depending on your role and workplace requirements.

No. Gas testing is crucial in various industries, including manufacturing, warehousing, emergency response, and construction — anywhere air quality could be a safety concern.
