Since April 2012 it is possible to carry out certain asbestos works without a licence. There are three different types of work with Asbestos, Non-Licensed, Notifiable Non-Licensed and Licensed Asbestos Work.
No matter what industry you work within, wherever asbestos may be disturbed, asbestos awareness training is a mandatory requirement.
The IATP (Formally Category B): Non-Licenced Works course is recommended for those who may need to carry out non-licenced and notifiable non-licenced asbestos removal. The training delivers the knowledge needed for removing asbestos safely, providing the knowhow to implement the necessary controls required to complete the work.
This course is a brilliant course to undertake even if you are looking to move on to more technical requirements of asbestos removal, such as licensed removal.
Anybody who already carries out non-licenced work can also use this course as an annual refresher.
The course is delivered over a day.
The course is split into two parts over the day and on successful completion you will be able to demonstrate knowledge of the following:
To effectively progress and complete the programme, individuals will be required to have knowledge and understanding relevant to all assessment criteria, a multiple-choice assessment is required along with a practical assessment.
The IATP Non-licensed Course lasts for 1 year from the course completion date.
