Why choose Oracle Solutions for bespoke asbestos training in and near Manchester?
If you’re on the lookout for asbestos training right now, you might imagine that arranging the right type of training will be crucial, but that your specific choice of provider might not matter so much. After all, won’t the asbestos training experience be generally the same across different providers, anyway?
However, the reality isn’t as simple as that. For example, not all Manchester asbestos training specialists that you are presently considering will necessarily have been approved and certified by respected external bodies. In contrast, here at Oracle Solutions, our modern training centre is UKATA-accredited, and all our UKATA asbestos training is CPD certified. So, you don’t have to merely depend on us being as good as we claim we are!
Then, there is the not-insignificant matter of how your requested asbestos training is delivered. If you are seeking out face-to-face asbestos awareness and refresher training, we can certainly provide that, whether at our own training centre near Kettering, or at your own premises, if you would prefer us to come to you.
In today’s world, however, it is understandable that many of our prospective or current clients in Manchester or nearby areas also enquire about online asbestos training. Sure enough, we host virtual online asbestos training courses on a regular basis. So, please don’t hesitate to book your place online or to call us on 0844 244 7326 to learn more about these courses.
Whatever asbestos course(s) of ours you do take advantage of, you can be sure that you will receive all the legally required content, as well as an HSE-recognised certificate on completion.
Another factor to consider, is how enjoyable and memorable the training experience will be. The fact that you are reading this page indicates you know the importance of asbestos training in Manchester for ensuring compliance and safety. However, our trainers genuinely love what they do, and deliver the course content in an informative, engaging, and actionable way – dispelling any notion of asbestos being a “dull” subject.
The key things you should know about Manchester asbestos training
Below, we have answered some of the questions most commonly asked about asbestos courses in and near Manchester. If there are any other aspects of asbestos training that you are unsure about and would appreciate clarity on, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Oracle Solutions’ experts.
What are the main types of asbestos training courses?
If you’re completely new to the world of asbestos training or have some gaps in your knowledge (which tends to be the case for most individuals and organisations enquiring to us about asbestos training in Manchester), please feel free to consult our comprehensive guide.
To summarise, though, these are the principal categories of asbestos training that Oracle Solutions delivers:
- Category A (Cat A) asbestos awareness training: if a worker or employee is set to carry out a task that could conceivably lead to the fabric of a building being disturbed – and asbestos exposure potentially occurring as a result – they will need to be given this type of training.
- Category B (Cat B) non-licensable asbestos removal and refresher training: if a worker will be knowingly disturbing low-risk asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) as part of their role, they will require this training on top of the aforementioned asbestos awareness training.
- UKATA asbestos “duty to manage” training: there are various individuals who may be involved in efforts to achieve compliance with the “duty to manage” asbestos for a particular building, as set out by Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012). This course is aimed at dutyholders and appointed persons, providing introductory knowledge to help them with the fulfilment of their legal obligations.
Does it matter whether asbestos training is CPD certified?
Given that all our own UKATA asbestos training here at Oracle Solutions is CPD certified – the initialism standing for “Continuing Professional Development” – you would probably expect us to say yes, it definitely does matter!
However, by reading our previous blog post on CPD certification, you can find out for yourself why such external approval is so important. Basically, the CPD Certification Service evaluates further learning opportunities in accordance with the highest standards.
So, when you see that particular asbestos training in Manchester is “CPD certified”, you can be sure that the given course has been judged to be of a high quality by reputable external observers. The course provider will not, in other words, be simply “marking their own homework”!
What is meant by the term “refresher” when it comes to asbestos training?
As we have also previously written about, if someone undergoes any type of asbestos training, it will be legally necessary for them to undergo a “refresher” of this training every 12 months at minimum. This applies across all three types of asbestos training described above.
The relevant part of the asbestos regulations – Regulation 10 of CAR 2012 – stipulates that refresher training should be provided more frequently than every 12 months in certain circumstances. This will be the case if, for example, there is a change in working methods or a change in the type of equipment used for controlling asbestos exposure.
