City & Guilds 6160-08 Level 3 Award in Working as a Member of a Rescue and Recovery Team in Confined Spaces

The theoretical and practical safety course is mapped to the National Occupational Standards and provides those who are working as a member of a confined spaces rescue and recovery team with an in-depth understanding of their duties.

The 3 day course can accommodate up to 10 delegates per day.

Please note: the 6160-08 qualification is often combined with 6160-03 qualification, which can reduce the duration of the training to 2 days. So, taking the must more popular 6160-03 course and then adding the 6160-08 provides two (2) qualifications over 5 days. Splitting these courses out is a 6 day course. Thus, the recommendation to combine the two together (where possible).
