Course Materials: CABWI

Confined space entry, supervision and rescue training in the UK must be delivered to very exacting standards to ensure workers remain safe, and CABWI, the awarding body for the water and utilities industries, operates an accreditation scheme for training providers that is accepted across the country. UVSAR has created a complete course delivery package for the CABWI scheme, with classroom slides, instructor notes and student handbooks for all the standard regulated qualifications.

Providers can buy individual licenses for each risk level if they are only delivering part of the CABWI scheme, or the complete set at GBP 1350.00 ex VAT. This is a one-off payment for the electronic files only; printed handbooks are ordered separately. Licenses do not expire, this is not a subscription service!

Materials are supplied in a clean OEM format with no brand bias, as shown in the images on this webpage. We use fully-licensed imagery throughout, with no third-party logos or product names visible. Classroom slides will be branded with your corporate logo, and a personalized inner first page can be bound into the printed handbooks for a small additional fee.

CABWI courses are for workers subject to UK legislation only. In other parts of the world, confined space legislation and training standards often have both regional and industry-level variations.

Restrictions

To deliver CABWI-branded training, the provider must be an audited CABWI Centre. This involves an assessment of facilities, equipment, staff and quality management systems. While our course packs have passed multiple audits and have been recognized by the auditors as the best quality materials available, we cannot guarantee that a particular centre will be approved, nor can we intervene in the auditing process.

Versions of the course packs without CABWI branding are available for non-accredited providers.

What do I get?

  • A Course Delivery Pack containing logo-branded classroom slides in FXL EPUB, plus PDF instructor notes for each qualification.
  • A perpetual non-transferable license to use the materials within the pack as-supplied for delivery of the named syllabus, to unlimited students. You can make as many copies of the pack as required for your instructing staff, but cannot give copies of slide decks or instructor notes to delegates or the general public, resell/syndicate the materials or publish them online.
  • A trade account to order printed student handbooks.
  • Free updates for up to 5 years should there be materially-significant changes in legislation or standards.
  • Access to our online EPUBVIEW presentation platform, allowing secure browser-based access to the slide decks from anywhere in the world.

FXL EPUB? Whatnow?

Consistent design and content is vital for training course delivery. Auditors and insurers need to know that a delegate was shown exactly the same information as everyone else, so slide decks that can be freely edited by instructors, deleting things they don't like or adding images stolen from the Web, are simply not acceptable in a professional environment. There are only a few ways to distribute rich-content slide decks so they always look the same, on Windows, Mac or mobile, without having to manually install fonts or change screen sizes, and the most reliable and modern format is Fixed Layout (FXL) EPUB.

I want PowerPoints!

Sorry but no. Our slide decks use technology that is not supported in PowerPoint or Apple Pages. We do not provide the editable masters for our OEM course handbooks or slide decks for obvious reasons; each document represents hundreds of hours of expert work and the content is only licensed for use as a finished document. Using EPUB instead of PPT means we can reduce prices, include graphics that cannot be licensed in editable formats, and take away the worries about how to keep everything updated and error-free.

Printed handbooks

The Course Delivery Packs are supported by an 8.5x11" full-colour perfect-bound student handbook, which covers all topics in low/medium/high/rescue. Handbooks are produced on demand so you always get the latest version. Standard service has a typical five working day lead time with next working day UK delivery. As CABWI is a UK-specific program we do not ship these titles to other countries. Handbook prices are typically £4.00 to £8.00 per copy plus shipping, zero UK VAT.

CABWI-accredited training providers can buy handbooks without ordering our Course Delivery Packs, but the two are designed to work together.
