Level: No prerequisites required
Course Overview
The Compressed Air Systems Management Course (CASM) has been developed by ASSET to support dive centres, technicians, and offshore operators who are responsible for the day-to-day operation, care, and management of scuba and SCBA compressor systems.
Originally introduced to complement the Cylinder Inspection and Testing courses, this programme has proven equally valuable as a stand-alone qualification for anyone involved in filling, monitoring, or maintaining compressed air systems in the dive industry.
This course focuses on real-world operation, not theory alone. Participants gain the knowledge needed to protect equipment, ensure air quality, reduce costly failures, and demonstrate compliance with pressure systems legislation and industry standards.
Who This Course Is For
This course is ideal for:
-
Dive centre owners and managers
-
Compressor operators and filling station staff
-
Dive technicians and engineers
-
Facility and operations managers
- On/Offshore Divers and Technicians
-
Anyone responsible for compressed air systems supplying breathing air
No prior technical qualifications are required.
What You Will Learn
The Compressed Air Systems Management Course covers:
-
Safe operation of compressed air systems used for breathing air
-
User-level maintenance and daily operational checks
-
Moisture control and air quality protection
-
Understanding compressor design and system components
-
Correct use of compressors in line with pressure systems regulations and relevant legislation
-
Identifying early warning signs of system failure
-
Preventing contamination, corrosion, and moisture-related damage
-
Best practices for managing air banks and filling systems
Training is delivered using practical examples and real dive-industry scenarios, ensuring knowledge can be applied immediately in the workplace.
Key Benefits of This Training
✔ Protects Your Compressor Investment
Reduces the risk of costly breakdowns caused by incorrect operation or poor routine care.✔ Protects Scuba Cylinders and Equipment
Prevents moisture damage and internal corrosion in cylinders caused by damp or contaminated air.✔ Improves Safety and Air Quality
Ensures breathing air systems are operated correctly, protecting divers and staff.✔ Demonstrates Formal Training & Due Diligence
Provides documented evidence of professional training for compressor operators — a critical factor in liability and insurance situations.✔ Shifts Responsibility Where It Belongs
In cases of compressor failure, manufacturers often blame operator error. Formal ASSET training demonstrates competent operation, helping protect operators and owners from unjustified liability.✔ Supports Compliance & Best Practice
Aligns compressor operation with recognised industry standards and regulatory expectations.
Certification
Successful candidates receive ASSET certification in Compressed Air Systems Management, recognised within the dive industry as evidence of professional competence and responsible operation.
This course also supports progression within the ASSET Dive Industry Technician pathway.
