ASFP Passive Fire Training to Include Certificates of Attendance for CPD Points

The Association for Specialist Fire Protection (ASFP) has announced an important development in its passive fire protection training programme. Following extensive discussions around the recognition of training for CPD (Continuing Professional Development) purposes, all ASFP training courses will now issue Certificates of Attendance that evidence learning hours.

These certificates will contribute directly to an individual’s CPD record, ensuring that the valuable skills and knowledge gained through ASFP training are formally recognised by employers, professional bodies, and accreditation schemes.

From this point forward, all delegates undertaking any ASFP training course - whether delivered in-person or online - will have access to a Certificate of Attendance detailing the relevant training hours. This will allow attendees to accurately record and evidence their professional development activities.

Breakdown of hours

Classroom-Based Training

• Level 2 – 30 hours
• Level 3 – 42 hours

Online Training

• Awareness – 1 hour
• Introduction – 3 hours
• Firestopping for Installers (FSFI) – 3 hours
• Level 2 Options – 8 hours
• Level 2 Single Module – 4 hours
• Level 3 – 16 hours

This new approach ensures that participants’ efforts are formally documented and that all learning counts towards maintaining and enhancing competence in passive fire protection.

The move aligns with ASFP’s commitment to raising competence standards in the fire protection industry. Whether gaining an initial understanding through a short awareness course or deepening technical expertise at Level 3, learners can now be confident that their achievements are clearly recognised and verifiable.
