RSPH Level 3 Award in Asbestos Surveying

This RSPH asbestos surveying qualification is approved by the qualifications regulator, Ofqual.

This Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) qualification has been designed to provide the theory and practical knowledge, and the skills required for surveying buildings for asbestos and developed around HSG264 Asbestos: The Survey Guide.

UKAS document RG 8, ‘Accreditation of Bodies Surveying for Asbestos in Premises’, states that all asbestos surveyors must hold formal recognised qualifications (in addition to demonstrable knowledge, experience and in-house training). This qualification is recognised by UKAS for this purpose.

Our tutors have extensive industry knowledge and experience in delivering this qualification. Candidates can take this qualification at an ATaC venue across the country and throughout the year.
