# Confined Space Training Cost

> Confined space training cost is set by delegate numbers, risk level, on-site or centre delivery, equipment and rescue provision. The 7 drivers, plus free quotes.

## Key facts

- Regulation 4(1) of the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997 provides that no person at work shall enter a confined space to carry out work for any purpose unless it is not reasonably practicable to achieve that purpose without such entry.
- Regulation 5(1) requires that suitable and sufficient arrangements for the rescue of persons in the event of an emergency are prepared before anyone enters or carries out work in a confined space.
- The Confined Spaces Regulations 1997 contain nine regulations and set no training refresher interval: certificate validity is set by the awarding scheme and by client requirements, so ask the provider what period the certificate states.

## Data

- Confined space training: the cost drivers, 2026. Methodology: This is a cost driver table, not a price table. We do not publish headline per-delegate figures for confined space training because we have no evidenced UK price dataset behind them, and an invented range would distort the comparison you are trying to make. Each row names a factor, states how it moves the quote, and gives wording to put in your enquiry. Regulatory rows are sourced to the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997 (SI 1997/1713) and to HSE guidance, including the Approved Code of Practice L101.
