Also, in addition a new version of the course, Online Introduction to Passive Fire Protection (Installation) has been developed with new content specifically designed to cover the particular needs of passive fire installers.

Online Introduction to PFP (Installation)
The Online Introduction to PFP (Installation) has taken the content from the general introduction course
The Online Introduction to PFP (Installation) has taken the content from the general introduction course, which has been specifically tailored for those who undertake installation activities.
It contextualizes the information in the generic introduction course and provides instruction on particular features and concerns to consider during the installation of passive fire protection systems.
The courses use images, animations, audio, and video to enhance the learning experience and introduce the key features of each type of passive fire protection systems. Each version of the course takes around three hours to complete but can be undertaken at a time to suit, stopping and starting as necessary.
Understand the role of the various fire safety measures
Successful completion will provide learners with a sense of what good fire protection in buildings looks like. This will allow them to better understand the role of the various fire safety measures in the built environment, and in particular passive fire protection.
ASFP Training Manager - Chris Sharman states: “ASFP is pleased to offer this new and improved Introduction course, which has been developed in partnership with Milford and Marah, an experienced training consultancy. This partnership has enabled us to create a new industry-renowned course, which offers an enhanced learning experience, delivering expert knowledge in a clear, concise and engaging format.”
