The courses include the Fire extinguishers technician's initial training and many more

IFEDA, the Independent Fire Engineering & Distributors Association, is pleased to announce that all the training courses run by the Association have been awarded CPD (Continuing Professional Development) status from The Construction CPD Certification Scheme.

The courses include the Fire extinguishers technician’s initial training, a 3 day intensive course; and the Fire extinguisher technician’s refresher course, both of which include a BAFE recognised examination.

The Fire hose reel technician’s course; Dry riser technician’s course; Fire extinguishers for sales personnel; and Train the trainer course have also been awarded CPD status.

Nigel Walton, Chairman of IFEDA said: “IFEDA is delighted to have been awarded CPD status for these courses. As an Association we’re committed to raising standards within the fire industry; achieving CPD status for the IFEDA training courses further demonstrates the ways in which we continue to achieve this aim.”

Walton continued: “Continuing Professional Development is a very important part of an individual’s training. By successfully achieving CPD status for these courses the Association can continue to help raise working practice standards within the industry, through 3rd party approved and accredited training.”

The Fire extinguisher courses are run at a choice of two dedicated training venues, Stockport in Cheshire, and Fareham in Hampshire. The Fire hose reel, Dry riser, Fire extinguishers for sales personnel, and Train the trainer courses are run at the Stockport venue. Both venues are easily accessible with on-site parking. The Fire extinguishers technician’s refresher and Fire extinguishers for sales personnel can be run from client’s premises, subject to minimum numbers.

The courses are available to both members and non-members of the Association.
