What our qualifications tell us about the sector
Fire safety is a profession built on knowledge, competence and continual development.
Behind every regulated qualification is a learner building new skills, a training provider investing in quality delivery, and an employer developing a more capable workforce.
At SFJ Awards, we’re proud to support that journey through one of the UK’s most established portfolios of regulated fire safety qualifications and apprenticeship assessment.
But what does that look like in practice?
21 regulated fire safety qualifications
Fire safety is a broad profession, requiring expertise across a range of specialist disciplines.
Our portfolio offers regulated qualifications that support core areas including fire risk assessment, sprinkler design and installation, and fire safety management.
We also work with a number of organisations to support their customised training programmes for more specialist roles with our quality assurance expertise, and support the provision of Fire Safety Advisor and Fire Safety Inspector apprenticeships with our assessment services.
For training providers, we help create opportunities to build progression routes and expand existing delivery. For employers, it means access to recognised qualifications that support workforce development across different roles and responsibilities.
12,548 certifications
Every learner who achieves an SFJ Awards qualification represents an investment in professional development.
Collectively, these achievements demonstrate the continued demand for recognised fire safety qualifications that help individuals develop the knowledge and skills needed throughout their careers.
37 approved centres and employers
Quality qualifications rely on quality delivery.
We’re proud to work alongside approved centres across the UK, supporting organisations that deliver regulated fire safety qualifications to learners in a wide variety of sectors.
