Our Fire Door Inspection Training provides a comprehensive pathway to developing competency in fire door inspection.

This Level 3 course combines theory and practical learning, covering key areas such as relevant regulations and standards, the importance of critical components including seals and ironmongery, and how to carry out full inspections on both certified and nominal fire doors.

Delegates are assessed through both a written examination and practical inspection, leading to an EAL Ofqual Level 3 qualification upon successful completion.
