Participants who meet all course requirements will receive an ACTI Confined Space Entry & Attendant Certification, recognized across Canada, ensuring they are qualified to safely enter, monitor, and work in confined spaces within industrial, construction, and maintenance environments.

🌎 National Program Mobility:

The ACTI training framework is part of a nationally recognized program that supports workers across all provinces and territories in Canada. The base course provides consistent foundational training that adheres to CSA Z1006 and core OH&S principles, ensuring a unified level of competency nationwide.

To meet regional regulatory requirements, ACTI offers optional provincial/territorial legislation modules that align with local OH&S Acts, Codes, and confined space standards. Whether you are working in Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec, or any other jurisdiction—including the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon—these add-ons ensure your training is fully aligned with local laws and employer expectations.

This modular approach empowers workers to remain compliant and employable across Canada, while helping employers meet jurisdiction-specific legislative responsibilities without duplicating entire courses. Workers who move between provinces can simply complete the relevant legislation module to supplement their ACTI base certification.
