BackgroundThis comprehensive suite of new, modular training courses in Fire Detection & Alarm Systems and Emergency Lighting has been developed through a partnership between the Fire and Security Association (FSA), a division of the Electrical Contractors Association (ECA) and the Fire Protection Association, and is designed to meet the training requirements of those involved with design, installation, commissioning and servicing of associated systems.

We have developed three new pathways for you to choose from:

Training Pathway 1


Training Pathway 2

Fire Detection & Alarm Systems for Domestic Dwellings

Training Pathway 3

Emergency Lighting

Extensive choiceThe modular structure of the training programme reflects the needs of companies and/or individuals to develop and demonstrate competence:

What level of qualification can I achieve?Credits are available at Intermediate, Advanced and Professional level. In order to achieve a particular level of BTEC qualification, 75% of your credits need to be at that level or higher.

• TheBTECAwardisavailableatIntermediateand Advancedlevel

• TheBTECCertificateisavailableatAdvancedlevel

• TheBTECDiplomaisavailableatAdvancedlevel

What will it cost to register for a BTEC qualification?In addition to the advertised course fee there is an additional cost to cover BTEC registration/certification and FPA assessment.

New BTEC QualificationThe FPA and FSA are delighted to introduce this brand new qualification pathway for those working in the fire detection, alarms and emergency lighting systems sector. The first qualification of its kind for the industry, it opens up progression routes through to Foundation Degree level and offers the workforce opportunities to achieve qualifications at each level along the pathway.

How can I achieve a BTEC qualification?*Each of the courses has been allocated a number of credits which equate to BTEC units and are awarded to you upon successful completion of the course. Each credit is equivalent to approximately 10 guided learning hours and requires completion of a written assignment based upon practical activities in your workplace.

BTEC qualifications are available in:

• FireDetectionandAlarmSystemsinWorkPremises

• FireDetectionandAlarmSystemsinDomestic Dwellings

• EmergencyLighting

You can achieve either a BTEC Award, Certificate or Diploma depending on the number of credits that you accumulate.

• Achievementof1-12creditsfromonepathwayleadsto aBTECAward

• Achievementof13-36creditsfromonepathwayleads toaBTECCertificate

• Achievementof37ormorecreditsthrougha combinationofdifferentfunctionalpathwaysleadstoa BTECDiploma

You must always complete the core compulsory module but you are then free to choose the additional courses that are most relevant to you. Once you have received a BTEC Award or Certificate, you are able to ‘top up’ credits at a later date to achieve further qualifications.

See pages 6 and 7 for a full list of the pathways to choose from.

New Qualification PathwaysFoundation Degree

New Foundation Degree for the Systems sector

The FPA has been working closely with Buckinghamshire New University to develop a work-based Foundation Degree (FD) pathway for Fire Protection practitioners.

This partnership ensures that the course content is current and relevant to the needs of today’s fire protection industry, as well as possessing the appropriate level of academic rigour required of a degree.

From an industry point of view, it means that there will be more individuals who have enhanced their technical training, by integrating their work knowledge, skills and experience with an academic experience to gain a degree qualification – without having to leave the workplace.

The Foundation Degree Programme

The programme modules cover the theories, principles and practices of fire protection systems management, and encourage the student to apply these to his or her own work role. Each module has a 2-day workshop held on the University campus in High Wycombe which provide an invaluable opportunity to discuss the module and assignments with both the tutor and other students.

The FD programme is run over two years, with the option for a third year to convert it to a full honours degree. All course material and assignments are downloaded via the Internet through the University’s online learning facilities.

How can I progress on to the Foundation Degree*?The exciting news is that colleagues at Bucks New University have agreed that those who achieve 15 or more credits from two different pathways in Fire Detection and Alarm Systems, or Emergency Lighting, including at least 5 credits from each pathway at Professional Level are eligible to enrol on to the foundation degree bridging assignment. This is an assignment that starts to combine practical knowledge with academic considerations.

What will it cost?

Foundation Degree bridging assignment£149

Foundation Degree£1000 per year for a 2-3 year course

OverviewFire detection and alarm systems are installed into virtually all commercial and industrial premises in the UK. However, despite their recognition they are frequently mismanaged, often creating unwanted alarms. It is therefore essential that those with responsibility for design, servicing, installation and management of these systems have an understanding of their operation and application.

The latest fire detection and alarm systems harness cutting-edge technology to ensure that fires are detected faster and that any potential damage is minimised.

This new two day core module will focus on the legal requirements for fire detection systems and also provide an overview of the different components of fire alarm technology and their principles of operation.

The course provides a thorough understanding of the essentials of fire detection and alarm systems and delegates who successfully complete this module may chose to undertake further pathway modules regarding the design, servicing and installation of such systems.

Brilliant - just what I wanted from the course, both the presentation and the excellent handouts

house (SPDH) and blocks of individual flats)

• be unfamiliar with the premises

Thepremisesmay:• contain hazardous process or storage risks

• cater for large numbers of occupants

Example: larger shops and shopping centres, museums, leisure centres, other large assembly buildings, halls of residence, sleeping areas and boarding schools, hotels, hospitals, care homes, manufacturing plants, railway stations, airports.

Complex domestic dwellings

• dwelling houses or shared housing with a floor area per storey greater than 200m2 and 3 storeys or more;

• common areas of HMOs; NHS supported houses with more than 6 residents and/or more than 3 storeys

OverviewAll workplaces covered by the Fire Safety Order 2005 have a requirement to safeguard the ‘safety of relevant persons.’ The legislation also states that ‘emergency routes and exits requiring illumination must be provided with emergency lighting of adequate intensity in the case of failure of their normal lighting.’ Approved Document B to the Building Regulations provides guidance as to when emergency lighting is necessary to satisfy this requirement.

This one day course will focus on the legal requirements for emergency lighting systems and also provide a review of the types of emergency lighting products and components and their principles of operation.

The course provides thorough coverage of the basics of emergency lighting and delegates who have successfully achieved this module may choose to undertake further pathway modules regarding the design, surveying, servicing and installation of such systems.
