Fire safety is one of the most important aspects of construction and maintenance. It’s in the headlines like never before, and the need for robust inspection across all property types requires trained, qualified and competent professionals.

The Level 3 Award in Fire Door Inspection is a formal qualification awarded by ABBE (the Awarding Body for the Built Environment). The one day classroom course provides instruction on the regulations and practical aspects of fire door inspection. On completion of this you are then required to complete a workbook and compile a portfolio of evidence that demonstrates your knowledge and understanding of this subject. This is likely to take a number of days.

This comprehensive one-day training course will run in small-sized classes and includes a short exam. It will equip you with all the information and knowledge needed to start building your own personal portfolio of evidence to achieve the Level 3 Award.
