Australia Sees Surge in Construction & Infrastructure Jobs - Get Training and Certifications from Affordable Training

Announcement posted by Affordable Training 02 Feb 2026

As Australia experiences unprecedented growth in construction and infrastructure employment, Affordable Training responds to industry demand by expanding nationally accredited confined space training programs in Melbourne and Brisbane.

Australia's construction and infrastructure sectors are experiencing significant workforce expansion, driving increased demand for specialized safety training as employers seek qualified workers to fill critical roles in confined space operations.

Affordable Training, a registered training organization operating through Tectra Australia RTO 40889, reports heightened enrollment in confined space training programs as industries ranging from civil construction to mining ramp up operations nationwide.

"Confined spaces present serious risks due to limited access, poor ventilation and potentially hazardous atmospheres," said a spokesperson for Affordable Training. "Workers entering tanks, silos, pits and tunnels require proper training to ensure their safety and compliance with Australian workplace regulations."

The surge in construction activity has created particular demand for workers certified in high-risk operations. Confined space training Melbourne programs have seen steady growth as Victoria's infrastructure projects expand, while confined space training Brisbane courses continue to attract workers from Queensland's booming resources and construction sectors.

Affordable Training delivers nationally recognized units including RIIWHS202E - Enter and Work in Confined Space at $245 per person and MSMWHS217 Gas Test Atmospheres at $125 per person. A combination package offering both certifications is available for $295.

The courses, lasting four to eight hours, cover essential competencies including hazard identification, air quality monitoring, emergency procedures and proper use of protective equipment. Participants who demonstrate competency receive a Statement of Attainment and certification card.

Industries requiring confined space certification include civil construction, coal mining, drilling operations, extractive industries, metalliferous mining and general construction.

Confined space training Melbourne is conducted at Kads Plant Hire in Laverton North and a facility in Maddingley. Confined space training Brisbane takes place at the Virginia facility on Brisbane's north side, with southside options available.

The training provider also offers on-site workplace training throughout Australia, with group bookings available for six or more people in cities including Canberra and Sydney. Courses run daily with evening sessions, and weekend training can be arranged by appointment.

"Excellent training with a very knowledgeable and friendly trainer," said David Morton, a recent graduate. Luke Appleby noted the company's "professionalism and care for student outcomes."

Affordable Training's confined space programs align with WorkSafe Victoria and Queensland workplace safety regulations, ensuring workers meet legal requirements for operating in high-risk environments. The certifications demonstrate that workers possess the knowledge and skills necessary to identify hazards, assess risks and follow safe operating procedures.

As Australia's construction boom continues, the availability of qualified workers with proper safety credentials remains crucial for project completion and workplace safety compliance.
