• Assessing or validating design proposals Course Entry Criteria Ideally, delegates should have completed FSSCFSP. Significant experience of fire engineering and Building Regulations will be beneficial.

The use of dedicated software allows the delegate to evaluate the effectiveness of the design of SHEVs in more complex situations than was possible in FSSCIO.
