Global Academy, the training division of Global HSE Group, today announced the launch of its latest fire safety qualification, Understanding Fire Safety Design*.
Brand new for 2025, this qualification has been meticulously written and created by Global Academy in collaboration with experts at the Global HSE Group. It is designed to provide a comprehensive and practical learning experience, equipping learners with the essential knowledge and skills to integrate fire safety effectively into the design process.
Learners will gain the underpinning fire safety knowledge required and have to demonstrate the practical application of this knowledge in the design of buildings, ensuring compliance with regulations and best practices.
Andrew Cooper, Managing Director at Global HSE Group emphasised the importance of this new qualification, “Fire safety is a fundamental aspect of building design, and ensuring that professionals have the right knowledge to integrate it effectively is vital. The Understanding Fire Safety Design qualification is a significant step forward in equipping learners with both the theoretical knowledge and the practical application needed to enhance safety in the built environment.”
Chris Sharman, Head of Technical and Training at Global HSE Group highlighted the industry need for this training, “This qualification has been created for individuals working on construction projects such as Principal Designers, or individuals within Principal, Main, or sub-contractors with a level of design liability where fire safety knowledge is crucial. From our extensive experience, we know this knowledge gap exists and we’re excited to be able to fill it.
This demonstrates Global Academy’s commitment to delivering industry-leading training that aligns with ever evolving fire safety regulations.”
Enrolment for the Understanding Fire Safety Design qualification is now open. To learn more and get in contact, visit the qualification homepage.
