Fire Service College
This qualification is nationally recognised and is aimed at experienced fire safety officers who are looking to develop their knowledge and skills for more complex premises and environments, with specific reference to fire auditing.
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. Qualifications are awarded through Skills for Justice (SFJ Awards).
This qualification consists of the following 5 mandatory units:
| Mandatory Units | Credit Value |
|---|---|
| Visit complex premises and environments for the purposes of fire safety regulation | 4 |
| Review fire protection systems in complex premises and environments | 5 |
| Review safety measures at locations that are regulated and/or licensed | 4 |
| Ensure measures are in place to protect people from fire in complex premises and environments | 5 |
| Assess risks associated with fire in complex premises and environments | 5 |
Our technological solutions enable a blended delivery model, combining e-learning, online and/or face-to-face learning. All learning and assessment will be hosted and supported through our Moodle LMS platform, which provides learners with a centralised portal to access their learning materials and undertake their practical assessments. As part of the learning and assessment process, skilled and qualified tutors will be available throughout to guide and provide expert advice to learners.
The course is designed for individuals wishing to further develop their auditing skills and knowledge to cover complex premises and environments.
The key benefits are delivery flexibility and a reduced assessment burden. Our delivery model combines all knowledge elements and consists of pre-course learning followed by a 10-day input period (does not have to be concurrent). There will then be a period back in service/employment where you will continue with your ‘on-the job’ training and mentoring. Finally, candidates will complete a simulated practical assessment using 3D virtual gameplay scenarios designed to test practical audit skills.
Delegates should be in a fire safety role and should have a sound knowledge of auditing within low/medium risk premises.
The course is assessed against a set of learning outcomes which will be completed using the College’s Learning Management System (LMS) and will take the form of written knowledge assessments. These will need to be completed before undertaking a simulated final practical assessment.
Successful completion will enable progression onto the Level 4 Diploma.
Looking for flexibility? We offer fully virtual delivery for individuals and groups. We also offer traditional face-to-face delivery, either at the College or at a location of your choice, such as your premises or a local venue.
