Have I Chosen the Right Course for Me?
This qualification provides the underpinning knowledge required by people with fire safety responsibilities at work. It is particularly relevant for those who contribute to or review fire risk assessments within low to medium risk workplaces.
For many who already have responsibility for other compliance issues, such as health and safety or environmental management, gaining specialist knowledge of fire safety can further expand their capabilities and help bring success and advancement to their career. The same applies to others in general management positions in the workplace.
What Does the Qualification Cover?
The qualification is divided into two units, each of which is assessed separately:
Fire Safety and Risk Management (FC1)
Practical Fire Risk Assessment (FC2)
