Authorised Gas Tester Training Courses
Here at Arobase, we run the classic OPITO format authorised gas tester courses. The content includes all required of the syllabus and more. However, we do not hold OPITO accredited status and do not intend to. For more on the reasons why, please see our article “Authorised Gas Tester or Just an Authorised Gas?”
The OPITO style courses are as follows:
- Level 1 – For confined space entry.
- Level 2 – Testing for hot work.
- Level 3 – Providing safety watch duties.
Each course takes 12, 7 and 4 hours respectively for classroom tuition, although a combined course is shorter than the sum of its parts.
We prefer to provide the Arobase Gas Testing @gt courses which are tailored to fit your requirements. We currently have classroom and practical based authorised gas tester training for:
