Frequently Asked Questions

Do I receive two certifications from the combined course?

Yes. On successful completion you will receive a Statement of Attainment covering both RIIWHS202E Enter and Work in Confined Spaces and MSMWHS217 Gas Test Atmospheres, two nationally recognised units of competency from a single day of training.

Why do the CSE and GTA courses combined?

Gas testing is a key part of safe confined space work, so the two competencies complement each other and most mine sites require both. Completing them together saves you a second training day and costs less than booking the two courses separately.

How long are the CSE and GTA tickets valid for?

Your Statements of Attainment do not have a legislated expiry date, however most employers and mine sites in Western Australia require refresher training every 2–3 years to ensure your skills and knowledge remain current. Always check your employer's specific site requirements before commencing work.

What do I need to bring on the day?

You should bring a valid photo ID (driver's licence or passport), appropriate clothing including long pants and closed-toe footwear, and any prescription glasses or medication you require. All safety and gas testing equipment is provided by STES. Lunch and refreshments are not provided so we recommend bringing your own.
