      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.
