Continuing Professional Development is essential for anyone delivering, assessing, or assuring confined space training. Standards, equipment, guidance, and expectations evolve, and competence must evolve with them.

CSRTA's CPD framework has been developed by industry, for industry, to provide a structured, credible way for instructors, assessors, and IQAs to maintain technical currency, evidence professional competence, and demonstrate an ongoing commitment to quality and safety

Our CPD platform supports:

• Consistent standards across training delivery and assessment.
• Technical updates aligned to legislation, ACOPs, and industry guidance.
• Reflective practice and professional accountability.
• Standardisation between centres, instructors, and quality assurance roles.
• Clear evidence of competence for employers, learners, and regulators.

CPD with CSRTA is not about box-ticking. It focuses on authentic learning, real experience, and real-world application within confined spaces and rescue environments.

By engaging with CSRTA CPD, you help raise standards across the sector while supporting industry development that benefits you in the workplace. CPD strengthens confidence in confined space training and reinforces a culture of continuous improvement, where competence is maintained, assured, and visible. 

As a not-for-profit organisation, all CPD contributions are reinvested back into the industry.

Your CPD doesn't just develop you, it creates the industry.
