For what reasons might you require asbestos training in North East England?
We have written previously here at Oracle Solutions about the variety of types of asbestos training that exist in the UK. These courses – including Category A, B, and C training – address the many different requirements that an individual or organisation might have for asbestos training and knowledge.
Understandably, you might not be immediately sure whether your circumstances necessitate asbestos awareness training, or instead perhaps asbestos non-licensed removal training, or a “duty to manage” asbestos course.
Ranging from such areas of Newcastle as the city centre, Ouseburn, Jesmond, and Gosforth, right through to other North East England settlements like Gateshead, Darlington, Hartlepool, and Stockton-on-Tees, we really can provide asbestos training more-or-less anywhere in the region.
So, if you are uncertain about the specific training requirements that you might have, please feel free to ask us.

The key things to know about asbestos courses in North East England and Newcastle
Here at Oracle Solutions, we tend to receive certain questions about asbestos training more frequently than others; our experts have provided answers to a few of those below.
If, however, there are any aspects of our asbestos training in Newcastle or elsewhere in the North East that you still have queries about, please don’t hesitate to enquire to our team.
What are the main categories of asbestos training?
Detailed information about the different types of asbestos training available is outlined in our comprehensive guide. In summary, however, we provide the following types of asbestos training in Newcastle upon Tyne and North East England:
- Category A (Cat A) asbestos awareness training: if a given staffer will be carrying out work that could conceivably result in disturbance to asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) – with the associated risk of loose asbestos fibres being released and imperilling the health of someone nearby – they should be given this type of training.
- Category B (Cat B) asbestos non-licensed removal and refresher training: we cover notifiable non-licensed work (NNLW) with asbestos as part of this course. It is a form of training that employees should be given if their work will knowingly disturb low-risk ACMs. Typical examples of such workers include maintenance workers, demolition workers, roofers, and the supervisors/managers of these employees.
- “Duty to manage” asbestos training: the “duty to manage” asbestos applies to certain “dutyholders” for non-domestic premises, as set out by Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012). This type of asbestos training provides dutyholders and appointed persons with the introductory knowledge that will help them comply with their responsibilities under present legislation.
All your UKATA asbestos training is “CPD certified”; what does this mean?
You may have read on the main page of our website for asbestos training, that our courses come with CPD certification. This initialism stands for “Continuing Professional Development”. We have previously written about what the CPD Certification Service is, and the implications such certification has for training courses.
In a nutshell, when you see that certain training has been CPD certified, this means it has been evaluated to the highest standards.
CPD certification is therefore one more thing that can reassure you about the quality of the asbestos training courses you may be considering for your staff members.
Will I need a refresher of my asbestos training?
Regulation 10 of CAR 2012 states that asbestos refresher training should be given at least once a year, or more frequently than this in certain circumstances – for example, if any gaps in competency are identified or there is a significant change in the type of work undertaken.
It is, then, a legal necessity to arrange refresher courses at some stage for employees who will be carrying out tasks for which asbestos training is required. Please take a look at our previous blog post for further information on this subject.
