Awards and Approvals The highly relevant content and robust quality assurance throughout our courses has earned recognition from a number of external bodies including:

The CFPA Europe Certificates, Diploma and Advanced Diploma in Fire Prevention

The Confederation of Fire Protection Associations Europe (CFPA) is the formal body, governed by statute, which links the 19 recognised fire safety organisations that exist in the countries of the European Union and the European Free Trade Area. The CFPA Europe Certificates, Diploma and Advanced Diploma are recognised in the 19 home countries of the CFPA and offer holders a Europe-wide recognised qualification in a range of aspects of fire safety management and prevention.

NEBOSH Certificate in Fire Safety and Risk Management Founded in 1979, NEBOSH offers qualifications that are recognised and respected by employers in all sectors of the economy and which provide the benchmark standard against which others are compared. FPA is a NEBOSH Accredited centre, delivering the underpinning knowledge for certificated units FC1 and FC2 of the nationally recognised Fire Safety and Risk Management Certificate. If you have achieved the NEBOSH National General Certificate (unit NGC1) within the last 5 years you can be awarded the full Certificate.

Competency Criteria for Fire Risk Assessors The Fire Risk Assessment Competency Council comprises a broad group of relevant fire sector stakeholders. Its objective has been to establish industry-wide criteria against which the competence of a fire risk assessor can be judged. These criteria are able to be used by professional bodies and third party certification bodies who register or certificate fire risk assessors, by training providers in the design of course content and by commercial companies providing fire risk assessment services.

FPA courses have been mapped against these competency criteria to ensure relevant coverage of the knowledge requirements within our fire risk assessor training. Examples of some of the national register schemes available are below:

Institution of Fire Engineers Fire Risk Assessors Register The FPA offers a number of risk assessment courses. which have all received course approval from the IFE for the purpose of their Register of Fire Risk Assessors Successful completion of the course will support an individual’s application to the Register and may help in reducing the burden of proof required through the application process. In addition to successfully completing the course, applicants to the Register will need to be able to provide evidence of suitable and sufficient education, training and experience in fire safety, fire risk assessment and /or the audit of completed assessments before making their application. For further information please visit the IFE website at www.ife.org.uk/fire-risk

Institute of Fire Prevention Officers The Institute of Fire Prevention Officers (IFPO) represents fire safety professionals from all walks of life including the Fire & Rescue Services, underground and overground rail networks, the aviation sector as well as the more usual fire sectors. IFPO operates its own fire risk assessor’s register following the guidelines issued by the competency criteria council.

25

Awards and Approvals Entry on to the register is by application and examination of qualifications. A number of fire risk assessments are then submitted for scrutinisation, with a final panel interview. IFPO offers discounted prices to those who have completed FPA fire risk assessment training. For further information please visit www.ifpo.org.uk

National Occupational Standards National Occupational Standards (NOS) are important benchmarks for those striving to achieve or demonstrate competence in their particular field of work as they set down what a person needs to do, know and understand in order to be competent to carry out activities or functions. A typical NOS will break down all of the required activities into units including a unit summary or overview. Each unit will describe the required standards of performance and the required standards of knowledge and understanding necessary to perform a particular function competently. In the fire sector the relevant standards that underpin activities come from the Fire Safety NOS and the Electronic Systems NOS. Each of these set of standards sit with an overarching, independent skills body who’s remit it is to identify and address skills and workforce development needs.

Continuing Professional Development The FPA supports the principles of CPD and credits or points may be available to members of professional institutions as a result of attending specified courses. CPD hours have been awarded for the majority of FPA courses by the Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE) and they are also recognised by The Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) and The Institute of Fire Safety Managers (IFSM). The list of institutions recognising our courses is continually expanding and an enquiry about the availability of CPD points should be made at the time of booking.

These NOS underpin the course content of all relevant FPA courses.

IQ

Industry Qualifications (IQ) is a nationally regulated awarding organisation committed to raising standards in vocational education. They are sector-focused and work in partnership with trade bodies and professional associations to develop qualifications that are relevant and valued. They believe in premium quality, thinking differently and above all, in fairness and transparency, in everything we do.

FPA is an Approved Centre for IQ qualifications in fire detection and alarm systems and emergency lighting.
