Accredited and aligned
Our Asbestos Awareness Course is CPD certified and RoSPA approved and built around CAR 2006, the 2010 amendment and HSA guidance - the legislation that actually applies in Ireland.
Built for Irish buildings
The content uses real Irish examples - the era of construction, the materials common here, and the way asbestos turns up in our housing and commercial stock. Generic UK content misses that local detail.

Honest about the limits
Perhaps the most important reason to choose a provider is honesty. We are clear that awareness training is exactly that - awareness. It does not authorise you to remove, survey or test asbestos, and it does not replace the task-specific training and supervision some roles need. We do not claim approvals that do not exist or promise that a certificate is accepted everywhere without qualification. That straightforwardness is not a weakness - it is what genuine expertise looks like, and it is why workers and employers trust the training to tell them the truth about both its value and its boundaries.
What this course does and does not cover
This online course builds awareness and understanding. It helps you recognise asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), understand the health risks, and follow the correct STOP - CHECK - REPORT response if you suspect asbestos during your work.
It does not authorise you to remove, survey, test, sample or deliberately disturb asbestos. Licensed asbestos removal, asbestos surveying and air testing each require separate, specialist qualifications. Employers may still need to provide task-specific training, supervision and a written risk assessment before any work near ACMs begins.
