Why employers train for this

Anyone likely to disturb asbestos at work must have information, instruction and training (Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, regulation 10). This course is awareness only. It does not qualify anyone to work with asbestos, and CertiSpark is not UKATA or IATP approved.

Where it is planned

United Kingdom. Rules can differ by country, state and workplace, so check what applies to you.

This course is in development and is not on sale yet. Pricing and enrolment will be published before launch. On completion, trainees will receive a certificate of completion issued by CertiSpark. This is not a regulated qualification and does not replace your employer's duties or site-specific training. It does not guarantee any inspection outcome.
