The qualification

Take ownership of fire safety.

Every workplace needs someone who understands fire: how it starts, how it spreads, how people escape and how a building protects them. The NEBOSH Certificate in Fire Safety gives you that knowledge and the confidence to carry out fire risk assessments in low to medium risk workplaces.

It is ideal for managers, supervisors, facilities and safety staff who have fire safety responsibilities, and a strong addition to a general health and safety qualification.

Request course information

Under fire safety law, the responsible person for a building must make sure a suitable fire risk assessment is in place and kept up to date. In practice, that duty often falls to someone without specialist training. This certificate closes that gap.

You will learn how fire safety should be managed, how fires and explosions start and spread, and how to control fuel, oxygen and ignition sources. The course then covers the fire protection built into premises, the safe evacuation of people, and how to carry out and record a fire risk assessment.

By the end, you will be able to assess fire risk in your own workplace and recommend practical, proportionate improvements.

FAQs

Will this qualify me to carry out fire risk assessments?

It gives you the knowledge to carry out fire risk assessments in low to medium risk workplaces. Complex or high-risk premises usually need a specialist fire risk assessor.

Do I need the General Certificate first?

No, but many learners take both. Fire safety sits naturally alongside a general health and safety qualification.

The course is delivered through an accredited NEBOSH Learning Partner and the qualification is awarded by NEBOSH. Adept handles your enquiry, helps you choose the right option and stays your point of contact throughout.
