Our technological solutions enable a blended delivery model, combining e-learning, online and/or face-to-face learning. All learning and assessment will be hosted and supported through our Moodle LMS platform, which provides learners with a centralised portal to access their learning material and undertake their practical assessments. As part of the learning and assessment process, skilled and qualified tutors will be available throughout to guide and provide expert advice to learners.
The course is designed for experienced fire safety officers working in complex premises, environments and situations. You will likely have significant experience in fire safety and wish to further develop your auditing and inspection knowledge and skills.
The key benefits are delivery flexibility and a reduced assessment burden. Our delivery model combines all knowledge elements and consists of pre-course learning followed by a 10-day input period (does not have to be concurrent). There will then be a period back in service/employment where you will continue with your ‘on-the job’ training and mentoring. Finally, candidates will complete a simulated practical assessment using 3D virtual gameplay scenarios designed to test practical audit skills.
The course is assessed against a set of learning outcomes which will be completed using the College’s Learning Management System (LMS) and will take the form of written knowledge assessments. These will need to be completed before undertaking a simulated final practical assessment and, depending upon optional units chosen, a series of scenario-based assessments.
Looking for flexibility? We offer fully virtual delivery for individuals and groups. We also offer traditional face-to-face delivery, either at the College or at a location of your choice, such as your premises or a local venue.
