With the introduction of the new fire detection and alarm systems qualifications, the FIA<\/a> give you some facts. Sit back, you might just learn something<\/h2>\n

Following the new qualifications in fire detection and alarm systems, FIA received a large number of\u00a0 reactions online \u2013 our\u00a0launch video<\/a>\u00a0views ramped up on YouTube, people retweeted the news on Twitter and shared it all over the place on Facebook, and we had the FIA team inbox filling up with requests for a hard copy of the new prospectus.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve had the phone ringing with a tonne of questions since our big announcement and I\u2019m sure you want to know more about what these new qualifications entail, so here are 7 facts you need to know about the new qualifications.<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0There are four new qualifications.<\/h3>\n

There is one qualification for each of the four main job roles within the fire detection and alarm servicing sector \u2013 Designer, Installer, Maintainer, and Commissioner.<\/p>\n

These all have \u2018official\u2019 long titles set by the Awarding Organisation (which you can read in our new prospectus –\u00a0click to download<\/a>), and will qualify you or your staff to an advanced level in each specialist area. \u00a0The good news is that they are Level 3 on the Qualifications Curriculum Framework (QCF) in the UK, meaning they are equivalent to an A-Level.<\/p>\n

Due to differences in what qualification levels represent between the UK and Europe, a Level 3 qualification in the UK \u00a0actually transfers to a Level 4 on the European Qualifications Framework\u2013 one level higher than the Level specified as the\u00a0minimum level of education in EN 16763<\/a>, the standard that sets out a minimum level of education required for fire and security services technicians. Good news for those that want to show compliance to this standard!<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0They are all formally recognised by an Awarding Organisation.<\/h3>\n

The Fire Industry Association Awarding Organisation (FIA AO) is the new official awarding organisation for qualifications within the fire industry. \u00a0The FIA AO gained recognition with all the relevant national regulators for qualifications in England (OFQUAL), Wales (QIW) and Northern Ireland (CCEA) in 2014 and is recognising the FIA training department to be the first training centre in the UK to offer the qualifications.<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Each qualification has four units.<\/h3>\n

This should be easy to remember \u2013 four separate qualifications, each with four units each. \u00a0The handy part is that three of those four units are common to all four of the qualifications, and it is completion of the final unit that identifies the qualification you are awarded. \u00a0Therefore, if you wanted to gain multiple qualifications, there shouldn\u2019t be a need to resit the three common units first \u2013 just complete a different final unit.<\/p>\n

This handy flowchart explains it:<\/p>\n

\"new<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Those taking the qualifications will learn A LOT more than before.<\/h3>\n

The current FIA training is robust and industry recognised \u2013 it is what we are most famed for. \u00a0We\u2019d be hypocritical if we said our current training wasn\u2019t up to scratch \u2013 it is, and it is still\u00a0relevant. \u00a0Learners still benefit from it daily.<\/p>\n

But after consulting with members, doing a survey, and listening to what you wanted, one thing was clear: you wanted the training to be longer, formalised, and include more content. \u00a0So the new qualifications will do exactly that \u2013 more content, more advanced knowledge building The new qualifications link to other aspects of FD&A systems not previously covered in current training courses, giving a rounder, more comprehensive level of knowledge and understanding amongst learners.<\/p>\n

Even if you have previously done training with us here at the FIA, it would be worth booking a qualification course when they become available as there is going to be a lot more on the syllabus that wasn\u2019t covered before.<\/p>\n

The added benefit of the qualification course is that you\u2019ll gain a proper bonafide nationally recognised qualification that will benefit not just you (or your staff), but will be an attractive offering to any future clients.<\/p>\n

5)\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0There is provision for those with additional needs.<\/h3>\n

We\u2019ve always done our best to provide for those with additional learning needs, e.g. dyslexia, but you should be reassured to know that if you tell us about any other additional needs on your application, we should be able to offer the support you need. \u00a0We strive for equal opportunities and you should be reassured to know that no matter what your needs are, we should be able to accommodate you. \u00a0So long as you inform us, there is absolutely no reason why you can\u2019t walk away with a qualification (effort required, of course!).<\/p>\n

6)\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0No prior learning or experience is needed to start the qualification pathway.<\/h3>\n

In order to start a qualification, you don\u2019t need to have completed any prior learning such as the current FIA training courses. \u00a0The qualifications are suitable for all levels \u2013 whether you are a complete beginner or you have been in the industry for some time.<\/p>\n

Even if you have previously completed courses or you have gained industry experience, getting a qualification will give you a higher level of understanding and further your development professionally (see #4 above<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 we\u2019ve added so much more to the qualification).<\/p>\n

For those that are just starting out \u2013 this will be a great opportunity for you to develop your knowledge and understanding to an advanced level, giving you the edge in the business world over others that have not yet qualified.<\/p>\n

7)\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0The first classes will be bookable later this year, after our launch in June.<\/h3>\n

Our official launch will be at FIREX this year, 20-22nd June at the ExCel, London. \u00a0We will be having a full programme of seminars and talks that you can attend to find out more, plus a networking bar where you can come and have a drink and meet with FIA staff to discuss the qualifications in more detail. \u00a0You can also pick up a prospectus \u2013 but if you can\u2019t wait, you can\u00a0download one here<\/a>, or\u00a0request a hard copy here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
