Authorised Person: Confined Spaces (MOD) (APCS (MOD))
Course overview
Course for individuals who are to be designated as an authorised person implementing safe systems of work for confined spaces. Our popular health and safety course is structured around the specific safety rules of the MOD and procedures contained in their Health and Safety Handbook JSP 375 Volume 3 Chapter 6. If your sector does not have specific safety procedure rules then JSP 375 is a relevant framework against which to learn, but if you would like to incorporate other sectors or specifically tailor a course to your sector or safety rules, please call us on 0800 876 6708.

March 2023 - Gary Cotton
Lee the course tutor was excellent. I marked as agree not strongly agree as the file paperwork could have been better and the worked examples. Also there was no SCBA to have a hands on practical element.
March 2023 - Joe banks
I felt the documentation provided by develop could be improved, also on other courses we were provided with sticky tags/tabs and stationary to assist with highlighting helpful information. Overall great course but improvement on documentation would help the course flow better.
March 2023 - Olivia Tye
I would strongly agree with this however the documentation provided by develop seemed to add a lot of confusion to the course for everyone. Our trainer Lee dealt with this extremely well and I can not fault him throughout this course he has been nothing but helpful and professional.
