Confined Space Training Pathways

Confined Space
29.07.2025

Whether you’re stepping into a confined space for the first time or leading a rescue operation, having the right training protects workers and ensures legislative compliance. Our City & Guilds and Outreach Rescue-accredited training pathway offers a clear route from entry-level roles through to rescue, supervisory, and instructional positions.

Structured Progression. Real-World Confidence.

Confined space work often requires more than basic awareness, it demands competence, control, and the ability to respond under pressure. At Outreach Rescue, we offer a clear training pathway in alignment with City & Guilds for the relevant awards. Whether you’re entering confined spaces operationally, managing teams, or directing rescues, our training pathway ensures you’re ready to respond.

 

Your Preferred Learning Route

Our recommendation is to select the entry-level award that best suits your operational requirements, recognising that higher level entry awards also cover the lower levels. From there, award dependant, you can progress into Rescue, Supervisory, and Managerial awards. If you’re leading or teaching others, the Outreach Rescue Confined Space Instructor award is the final step.
