Asbestos training is a key responsibility for employers in construction, demolition, refurbishment, and maintenance.
Exposure to asbestos can pose serious health risks, including lung cancer, Asbestosis and other issues related to the lungs. Making sure employees are trained in identifying and safely managing asbestos is essential to maintaining a safe working environment.
By choosing the right asbestos training course, you not only meet legal requirements but also safeguard the health and wellbeing of your workforce.
At 3B Training, we offer a number of asbestos training options tailored to different roles, each designed to keep your team informed and protected.
We offer two main types of asbestos training at 3B Training: UKATA Asbestos Awareness and UKATA Non-Licensed Asbestos Training. Each course meets specific needs depending on your team’s roles and their likelihood of encountering asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).
Our Asbestos Awareness training provides essential knowledge for those who may indirectly come into contact with asbestos, while the Non-Licensed Asbestos Training is tailored for workers who may handle ACMs directly but do not require a licensed contractor qualification.
Asbestos awareness training is essential for anyone working in environments where they may encounter asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). This course educates workers on how to identify asbestos, understand the associated health risks, and steps to avoid disturbing it.
Through asbestos awareness training, employees gain the skills to recognise, avoid, and report ACMs, which helps reduce the risks of asbestos exposure across all work sites. This training is crucial in building a culture of safety, ensuring that workers remain vigilant and informed.
The Non-Licensed Asbestos Training course is designed for individuals who may need to work with asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) without the requirement of holding a licensed asbestos handler certification.
This training is essential for roles such as electricians, plumbers, decorators, and other tradespeople who may encounter asbestos during work. It prepares employees to recognise and safely manage non-licensed asbestos risks, ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
We offer the UKATA Asbestos Awareness training as an in-house course, designed specifically for your company. This can be delivered at one of our training venues or a location of your choice.
For larger groups of operatives, we can customise the course content to align with your company’s specific needs. The interactive format fosters discussions about your internal processes, making the training highly relevant and engaging.
Our in-house course pricing is tailored based on factors like location, group size, and delivery method. To receive a personalised quote, simply fill out the enquiry form on our In-House Asbestos Awareness Page, and a member of our team will get back to you promptly.

The format ensures that even remote or field-based employees receive consistent, high-quality training in asbestos awareness without the need to attend an in-person session.

Our UKATA Asbestos Awareness Course consists of four essential modules that give participants a solid understanding of asbestos-related risks and safe practices:
At the end of the course, learners must complete a multiple-choice test that assesses their understanding of the material covered in each module. Learners must answer 12 out of 15 questions correctly to pass.
Upon successful completion, they receive a UKATA asbestos awareness certificate. The certificate is valid for 12 months, which verifies their knowledge and compliance with asbestos safety regulations.
Our UKATA Non-Licensed Asbestos Removal Course provides participants with comprehensive training on the safe handling and removal of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Key topics include:
To successfully complete the course, learners must pass a written assessment, demonstrating their knowledge of the covered material. Upon passing, they receive a UKATA certificate valid for one year, confirming their competency in non-licensed asbestos removal practices.
Employers need to assess the roles within their organisation to determine the appropriate level of asbestos training for each employee. For roles with indirect exposure, such as maintenance staff and general labourers, asbestos awareness training is recommended.
However, for tradespeople and others who may handle ACMs directly, non-licensed asbestos training provides the necessary skills for safe and compliant asbestos management.
If you decide Asbestos Awareness is the right course for your team, you can choose between the flexibility of online learning and the engagement of in-house classroom training.
Online courses allow employees to complete their training at their own pace, ideal for companies with busy schedules.
For organisations requiring in-depth team interaction, in-house training offers the benefit of tailored content and hands-on discussions.
UKATA Asbestos Awareness certificates are valid for 12 months, with annual renewal necessary to maintain compliance. Regular refresher training helps employees stay updated on the latest regulations and reinforce safe asbestos management practices, contributing to a safer workplace and ongoing regulatory compliance.
The online asbestos awareness course is designed to be efficient, taking around two hours to complete. Learners can work through the material in multiple sessions, making it convenient to fit around busy schedules.
To access the course, you’ll need a computer or tablet with a stable internet connection and audio capability. While the course can be completed on various devices, we recommend using a tablet or computer for the best experience.
