New Approval for our training courses.
The Asbestos Specialists Achieve IATP Accreditation
Every year, over 4,000 workers in the UK are affected by asbestos-related diseases — many of which prove fatal. These illnesses are not confined to the past, nor are they simply “an old man's disease”. Families continue to deal with the devastating consequences of asbestos exposure to this day.
To protect workers and the public, the Control of Asbestos Regulations require both employers and self-employed individuals to complete statutory asbestos training. Since our founding in 2003, The Asbestos Specialists have been committed to providing expert asbestos-related training to help meet this legal requirement.
Delivering high-quality, reliable training remains central to our business — and to our mission of keeping workers safe from harm.
Now Fully Approved by IATP
We are proud to announce that The Asbestos Specialists have recently been accredited by the Independent Asbestos Training Providers (IATP), following a successful audit of our Non-Licensed Works (NLW) and Notifiable Non-Licensed Work (NNLW) training courses.
This new endorsement joins our existing accreditations from UKATA and RoSPA, further strengthening our position as a trusted training provider. It also confirms the high quality of our online asbestos awareness training courses.
Our Managing Director, Les Cooper, commented:
“We are extremely pleased to have passed another stringent audit of our first-class training courses. IATP is a forward-thinking asbestos training approval organisation. We look forward to collaborating with them to enhance standards within the asbestos training industry.”
