Benefits of the NEBOSH Fire Certificate

The NEBOSH Fire Certificate qualification meets the academic requirements to apply for Technician membership (Tech IOSH) of IOSH (the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health), and Associate membership (AIIRSM) of IIRSM (the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management).

Obtaining the NEBOSH Fire Certificate will allow you to:

• Develop a knowledge of fire safety legislation and its impact on your workplace, including the legal framework relating to fire-specific health and safety
• Assist your company's fire safety management programme
• Assess workplace fire hazards and develop fire control measures
• Advise on the means of fire protection and prevention of fire spread within buildings
• Advise on the development and maintenance of a fire evacuation procedure
• Identify the causes of fire and explosion, as well as outlining appropriate control measures to minimise fire risks
• Outline the principles behind ignition and spread of fire and explosion in work premises
• Appreciate the purpose and procedures of investigating fires in the workplace
• Use a simple fire risk assessment technique to determine fire risk levels and assess the adequacy of controls
• Develop a basis for a future career in fire and occupational safety

Exams and Assessment

NEBOSH provide standard exam sittings which are conducted every three months. Some providers enrol their candidates in these exam dates in order to keep costs to a minimum and offer low prices. Unfortunately though this can mean a wait of up to three months between the conclusion of the course and taking your exams, which is a lot of time to forgot most of what you learnt at the beginning of the course. So many lost marks will normally result in a failing of one of more unit, no qualification, and the need for a further re-sit (possibly in another three months time!), and of course even more information may have been forgotten by then. So trying to save time and money has actually ended up costing you a lot more of both!

Training providers are able to pay NEBOSH for the privilege of calling exams at their own venues whenever they choose. This means that exams can be scheduled straight after the conclusion of the training. Rather than forgetting what was taught because of a long wait, candidates go into the exams with the knowledge fresh in their minds, which is vital for examination success.

This accredited NEBOSH qualification is assessed by one exam which lasts 2 hours, and a workplace-based practical fire risk assessment project. The exam is conducted in our training centres at the end of your course, and the project is completed in your own workplace. The project should take no longer than 3 hours to complete and you will have 7 days from the end of the course to return it to us by post. If you are currently unemployed, we can usually arrange somewhere for you to conduct a workplace assessment. If this is something you require, please contact us before booking.

If you are taking the full NEBOSH Fire Certificate course, you will also have an exam at the end of the NGC1 unit.

How are Courses Run?

All of our NEBOSH Fire Certificate courses are run as full-time block weeks, Monday to Friday 9am until approximately 5pm. Whilst other health and safety training providers may attempt to offer the NEBOSH Fire Certificate in other formats such as e-learning courses, distance learning, one day a week/month etc, in our many years of experience we have consistently found that full-time block courses with exams scheduled straight after equates to a significantly improved likelihood of delegates passing all of the assessments required for actually achieving the qualification.

Whilst some providers will be more than happy to take your money, sign you up for an online/distance learning course or one which is strung out for months and let you try and struggle your way though it, at the BCF Group we care more about providing delegates with the best possible chance of learning the information, passing the exams and acquiring the NEBOSH Fire Certificate without the need for costly and time-consuming exam re-sits.

Scheduled Open Courses

At the BCF Group, we offer the NEBOSH Fire Certificate in two ways: the full course and a conversion course. The full NEBOSH Fire Certificate course contains the mandatory NGC1 unit, which is the same unit that is taught in the NEBOSH General Certificate syllabus. This means that if you have already taken and passed the NEBOSH General Certificate in the last five years, you don't need to repeat this NGC1 unit. Candidates in this position can take the NEBOSH Fire Certificate conversion course which does not repeat this unit and so is both shorter in duration and less expensive than the full course.

The certificate achieved at the end of both courses is the same, i.e. the official NEBOSH Fire Safety and Risk Management Certificate; it just means that thanks to the modular make-up of the qualifications those who have already achieved the NGC1 unit do not have to do it all again!

There are no hidden extras to pay on top of our health and safety training course prices, unlike other providers who charge extra for things like study books and exam fees. The NEBOSH Fire Certificate courses have the following included in the course cost:

• NEBOSH Fire Certificate Study Book
• NEBOSH Exam Fees
• NEBOSH Certificate Fees
• Lunchtime Buffet
• Refreshments Throughout The Day
• Free All-Day Car Parking **

** Except London (Barbican) venue. NCP car park nearby.

Full Course Dates

The full course includes the mandatory NGC1 unit and exam. Those who have already achieved the NGC1 unit within the last five years are eligible to do the Conversion Course (see further down).

Conversion Course Dates

Those who have successfully achieved the NGC1 unit within the last 5 years are exempt from having to do this mandatory unit again, and so can do the one week conversion course which does not include the NGC1 unit.
