Overview

A condensed, in-person self-paced refresher of the nationally recognised RIIWHS202E Enter and Work in Confined Spaces unit, combining a self-paced knowledge assessment with a hands-on practical assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the refresher and the full confined space course?

The refresher is a condensed, self-paced session for people who already hold, or have recently held, RIIWHS202E. You still complete and are assessed against the full unit of competency, so you receive the same nationally recognised Statement of Attainment, just in a shorter session than the full course.

Am I eligible for the refresher?

You are eligible if you can show prior competency in RIIWHS202E gained within the last three years. Bring a copy of your USI transcript showing the unit, or a previous Statement of Attainment. You will also need a valid Unique Student Identifier (USI). If your last competency is older than three years, we recommend the full course.

Can I combine it with the gas testing refresher?

Yes. Most confined space roles also require MSMWHS217 Gas Test Atmospheres, so STES offers a combined confined space and gas testing refresher at a discounted combo price, which is the most popular option for mining and industrial workers renewing both tickets.

Is this a credit transfer or recognition of prior learning (RPL)?

No. This is the full unit of competency delivered as a refresher, not a credit transfer or RPL. You complete the knowledge assessment and the hands-on practical assessment on the day and are assessed against the current RIIWHS202E unit.

What do I need to bring on the day?

Bring valid photo ID, your USI transcript or a previous Statement of Attainment as evidence of prior competency, and appropriate clothing including long pants and closed-toe footwear. All safety equipment is provided by STES.
