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
17 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 17 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.
Institution of Fire Engineers Membership
At selected stages the FPAs CFPA qualifications in Fire
Prevention are recognised as providing appropriate training
in support of applications for Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE)
membership at various grades.
EngTech
The CFPA Europe Diploma in Fire Prevention has been
approved by the IFE as contributing to the academic
requirements for achieving Engineering Technician (EngTech)
status with the Engineering Council.
24
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 (please refer to our Fire Risk
Assessment section on page 17) which have all
received course approval from the IFE for the
purpose of their Register of Fire Risk Assessors
and Auditors. Successful completion of the
course will support an individuals 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 assessors register following
the guidelines issued by the competency criteria council.
 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 whos remit
it is to identify and address skills and workforce development
needs. Fire Safety NOS sit with Skills for Justice and Electronic
Systems NOS sit with Skills for Security.
These NOS underpin the course content of all relevant FPA
courses.
SFJ Awards
SFJ Awards is an awarding organisation
approved by the Qualification Regulators to
provide qualifications in England, Wales and
Northern Ireland.
They develop and deliver nationally recognised qualifications
for the Justice and Community Safety Sector, the Legal Sector,
Local Government, Military and the Fire and Rescue Sector.
FPA is an Approved Centre for SFJ Awards qualifications for
fire safety, fire risk management in residential properties & fire
investigation.
By working with SFJ Awards, organisations can develop and
implement learning programmes that adhere to a recognised
quality assurance process. This results in a quality tailored
training programme that remains the intellectual property of
the organisation that has developed it, as well as providing
increased confidence in the learning programme and ensuring
learners have the right skills to do their jobs with proficiency.
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.
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.
