RSPH Level 1 Certificate in Asbestos Awareness

The Royal Society for the Promotion of Health’s level-1 certificate in Asbestos Awareness is a fantastic alternative to our standard Awareness session. With CPD being an evermore important aspect of staff training, the ability to gain a recognised qualification is one that is favourable to most of our professional clients.

The rate for this course is £750 + exam fee. Slightly more than our standard Awareness course but for those requiring CPD this course is a must.
