The Confined Space Rescue Operator Instructor (CSROI) allows instructors to deliver all Rescue 3 certified Confined Space training courses up to and including Confined Space Rescue Operator within their own organisation.
Becoming a Confined Space Rescue Operator Agency Instructor allows you to deliver a suite of Confined Space training for low, medium and high-risk environments.
This course combined a 5 day instructor training element and a separate 3 day instructor assessment. Normally there is a 4-6 week gap between the training and assessment courses to provide candidates time to practice and prepare for the assessment.
