NEBOSH Certificate in Fire Safety

The NEBOSH Certificate in Fire Safety is a globally relevant fire safety qualification. Through its focused syllabus you can learn and develop fire safety skills that can be used in workplaces anywhere in the world.

Who should attend?

The NEBOSH Certificate in Fire Safety is ideal for those responsible for fire safety in low to medium risk workplaces, as well as health and safety managers and facilities managers.

Pre-requisites

There are no specific entry requirements for this course, although NEBOSH suggest that delegates have a suitable standard of English language in order to understand and articulate the concepts contained in the syllabus.

Course content

This focused qualification helps you learn and develop fire safety skills which can be applied in workplaces anywhere in the world. On completion of this qualification, you will have the knowledge and skills to: 

• Understand fire and explosion protection and prevention principles 
• Carry out an effective fire risk assessment in a low to medium risk workplace

Duration

The NEBOSH Certificate in Fire Safety takes around 28 taught hours and approximately 20 hours of private study and background reading.

Assessment

This qualification has a two-step assessment process which consists of:

An open book examination: you will be able to complete this at home or in another safe and suitable location where you can concentrate. You will be presented with a scenario that describes a realistic workplace and situation. You will then be asked to carry out a series of tasks using evidence presented in the scenario as well as the underpinning knowledge you have gained through your studies and revision. You will have 24 hours to complete and submit your paper - though you should be able to complete it in 4-5 hours.

A practical fire risk assessment: the fire risk assessment has been developed around fire risk assessment standards such as the Home Office fire guidance and PAS79-1:2020.  The time needed to complete the fire safety risk assessment is not restricted. We do, however, recommend that you take around three hours to complete all four parts of the assessment. 

You must successfully pass both units to achieve your full NEBOSH Certificate in Fire Safety.
