Originally this course duration was one day, which included the asbestos awareness element. It has been identified that the training requires more emphasis on practical and thus more time to cover the training thoroughly. UKATA have set down two duration timescales for this course, as below:
B1) Initial training with NO previous asbestos awareness training undertaken; Course Duration 1 ½ days - Contact us
B2) Initial training with previous UKATA certificated asbestos awareness training (within 6 months); Course Duration 1 day (evidence will be required prior to attending this one day course)
