If fire safety is part of your job, this course helps you understand the risks and decide what needs to be done. The NEBOSH Certificate in Fire Safety is designed for people responsible for fire safety in low to medium risk workplaces, including managers, supervisors, facilities teams and health and safety representatives.
You’ll learn how fires start and spread, what can be done to prevent them and how buildings and emergency arrangements help protect people. The course brings these areas together so you can look at your own workplace, recognise problems and recommend sensible improvements.
Delivered online in partnership with Compassa, the training includes interactive videos, activities and realistic workplace scenarios. You’ll practise making fire safety decisions and explaining why action is needed, helping you apply what you learn to your day-to-day responsibilities.
Learning that fits around work
Study at your own pace, with access to the course until you pass. Allow approximately 28 hours of taught learning and 20 hours of private study, plus around eight hours for assessments.
Downloadable workbooks and audio resources give you different ways to revisit the content. Tutor support is available by phone and email, and mock assessments give you the opportunity to receive feedback before taking your examination.
Assessment
There are two assessments:
You must pass both assessments to achieve the NEBOSH Certificate in Fire Safety. FSC1 examinations take place on scheduled dates, and you’ll need access to a suitable workplace for FSC2.
