NEBOSH Fire Safety and Risk Management Certificate

The Fire Safety and Risk Management Certificate (FC) is a qualification for those with fire safety responsibilities in the workplace. It is already established as a popular qualification in the UK and abroad. This course is for managers and supervisory staff who need to ensure that their organisation meets its responsibilities under fire safety legislation. Our course, leading to the NEBOSH FC qualification, will equip holders to carry out fire risk assessments of most low risk workplaces and identify the range of fire protective and preventative measures required. It is therefore also suitable for people moving into fire safety adviser roles.
