Overview

Course Overview

The International Fire Certificate has been designed for managers, supervisors, employee representatives and others to provide an appropriate breadth of underpinning knowledge for non-specialists in fire safety to enable them to discharge more effectively their organisational duties or functions with respect to workplace safety. It also aims to equip holders to contribute to the functions with respect to workplace safety. It also aims to equip holders to contribute to the conduct and review of fire risk assessments and preventative and protective measures within most low risk workplaces, in accordance with International and European best practice conventions.

There are no prerequisite entry requirements for this NEBOSH International Fire Certificate level qualification. Although students will find it helpful to have already achieved certification of the NEBOSH International General Certificate first as this greatly improves a students’ potential end-result. This construction qualification is aimed at those who are required to provide routine, day-to-day advice on fire related issues in the work environment.

Examinations

The exams consist of two 2-hour written papers and a practical assessment. Each written paper consists of one 'long-answer' question and ten 'short-answer' questions, all questions are compulsory. The practical assessment consists of carrying out a risk assessment of a workplace and preparing a short report.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
