Additional Information

From 1st Jan 2022 the governing body, City & Guilds, have updated Confined Spaces training qualifications.  The change means the assessments between Entrant and Entry Controller are split. So, anyone looking to achieve a High Risk Entrant qualification requires the 6160-03 (High Risk) and anyone looking to achieve Entrant Controller will require the 6160-04 (High Risk Entrant Controller).

Disclaimer:

Specifically, this course in now for ENTRANT ONLY. This course does not provide a qualification for entry controller (Top Person). Thus, this course will not qualify you to perform Top Person duties (as previously was the case under the 6150 suite.)

Please see the 6160-04 City & Guilds Level 3 Award in Control Entry and Arrangements for Confined Spaces course as this is the new City & Guilds qualification for the Top Person duties.
