The TQUK Level 2 Award in Fire Safety Principles (RQF) course is a regulated qualification which sits on the Ofqual Framework. This course is designed for managers, supervisors, team leaders, fire wardens/marshals, staff or anyone working in an area where there is a potential risk of fire.
This qualification is designed to meet and comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. It covers how fires are started, methods of controlling fire spread, evacuating the building, fire briefings and risk assessing.
Online e-Learning:
The theoretical components of this course have been neatly collated into bite-size modules, where you can watch a variety of videos, review scenarios and answer questions between each module. You will then need to complete 2 tests to be awarded the full TQUK Level 2 Award in Fire Safety Principles (RQF) certificate.
(1) Test one is built into the system and will be immediately accessible following the completion of the online e-Learning – completing this part will produce a temporary document to confirm the completion of the e-Learning course only.
(2) Test two is still completed remotely but under invigilated conditions – you must contact compliance@protrainings.uk to book your invigilated exam. Please note, your exam cannot be scheduled within 5 days of your request, so please pick a suitable time and date and allow 5 days from your request to sit your exam – completing this part will produce a request for a regulated TQUK Level 2 Award in Fire Safety Principles (RQF) certificate to be generated within 3-5 days (subject to a possible EQA sample which may cause delays to certification).
You will need a PC or Laptop with a camera to record yourself to meet the requirements of test two. Your computer screen will also be recorded internally as part of the invigilated exam, so all other windows and browsers must be closed before you start. The compliance team will communicate the requirements in full when they receive your request.
Classroom option:
Complete this qualification through traditional classroom training with one of our approved instructors or as a virtual training live with an instructor through Zoom or similar using our remote platform. Gain the same regulated qualification whichever option you choose – exam two still applies for this option.
A regulated TQUK Level 2 Award in Fire Safety Principles (RQF) certificate will be generated following the completion of your e-Learning, classroom session and invigilated exam.
Those gaining this qualification will know that fire safety is the responsibility of everyone in the workplace and will recognise the consequences of a fire on any premises.
Please be advised this course has a minimum age requirement of 16.
This course gives learners the opportunity to gain a formally recognised regulated qualification. If you require funding, a regulated qualification is often required. Phone us and we can advise if needed. If you choose our course leading to a regulated qualification, there are additional assessment criteria to be undertaken with an instructor and a small extra certification charge.
