Fire Manager Course

The Fire Manager Course combines the Fire Risk Assessor Course (5 day) and the Managing Fire Safety Course (4 day) to provide comprehensive, in-depth and practical training on all aspects of fire safety.

Current fire safety legislation requires a risk-based regime in organisations with a nominated competent person overseeing the fire safety management responsibilities - Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 for England and Wales/Fire (Scotland) Act 2005/Northern Ireland Fire Safety Regulations 2010.

This prestigious course has been designed specifically for individuals employed in a wide range of industrial and commercial backgrounds in both public and the private sector and organisations who require in-depth, practical training in fire risk assessment and fire safety management.

This course ensures that on completion delegates feel competent and confident to carry out fire risk assessments, produce fire safety reports and fire emergency plans of small to medium size premises in line with current legislation.

Upon successful completion of the course delegates can apply for Associate Member Grade with the IFSM leading to the AIFSM professional fire safety membership subject to IFSM criteria eg 3 years’ relevant experience . The Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE) recognises the Fire Manager course as an educational programme for fire safety at the TIFireE (Fire Technician) level subject to validation.

A highly practical 9 day in-depth course of study, consisting of 2 modules with multi-media presentations, working on plan drawings and practical exercises, using software; held on a public or in-house basis for up to 12.
