      ABBE ACCREDITED

      The development process required careful coordination with ABBE to ensure the qualification met rigorous academic standards whilst maintaining practical relevance.

      Redefining how fire safety is integrated into building design

      Global HSE Group identified a critical gap in professional fire safety education and responded by developing the Level 4 Award in Fire Safety Design, equivalent to a first-year foundation degree.

      This qualification addresses the growing demand from clients seeking comprehensive fire safety training for qualified professionals who lack specialised knowledge in this area.

      Elevating industry standards through education

      The training adopts a proactive approach to professional development, recognising that effective fire safety requires understanding design principles, rather than retrospectively checking compliance.

      By drawing on Global HSE Group’s comprehensive expertise in passive fire safety, building environments, and technical services, the course content reflects real-world application scenarios and industry best practices.

      Proactive approach to professional development

      This qualification is appropriate for individuals working on construction projects including architects, architectural technicians, surveyors, and building inspectors: professionals who already have established qualifications in their respective fields but require additional expertise in fire safety design principles.
