Course overview and learning outcomes
This qualification is nationally recognised and aimed at those who are new to working in a fire safety role and wish to build on their knowledge and gain recognition of their competence.
The content is based on the National Occupational Standards and is intended to both support and formalise development in the Fire Safety Officer role and create a solid base for further learning.
All our fire safety courses are part of a development pathway where the candidate must complete each level of qualification before moving onto the next unless they can provide evidence of an equivalent qualification.
The course is delivered over two separate weeks (10 days total) and will provide the knowledge and understanding of core fire safety principles including the technical, legislative and practical skills required to support the role of fire safety auditor and create a solid base for further learning. It is expected that delegates will complete all knowledge assessments and apply learning vocationally from the first week before attending the second week.
Qualifications are awarded through Skills for Justice (SFJ Awards).
