Introduction:

The International Fire Certificate has been designed for managers, supervisors, employee representatives and others to provide an appropriate breath of underpinning knowledge for non-specialists in fire safety to enable them to discharge more effectively their organizational duties or functions with respect to workplace fire safety. It also aims to equip holders to contribute to the conduct and review of fire risk assessments and preventative and protective measures within most low risk workplaces, in accordance with International and European best practice conventions.

The NEBOSH International Fire Certificate will teach you how to carry out fire risk assessments and identify the range of measures you need to minimize the risk of fire. The NEBOSH International Fire Certificate is based on international standards and best practice.  It is made up of three units which must be successfully completed within five years to achieve the NEB0SH International Fire Certificate qualification.
