This category is a win, win for everyone in the community! Once a week we’ll post a question as a poll. The subject will always be compliance but will cover the whole range of skill levels and many disciplines of PFP such as firestopping, fire dampers, structural steel coatings, fire doors and so on, there’ll even be some fire science and focused H&S too, giving everyone a free opportunity to prove or/and improve their knowledge and competency within the group as a whole. It’s also our opportunity to give examples of what you could learn or prove through our verified CPD Courses. Available on the classroom tag our custom curated passive fire focused courses contain everything you need in terms of working knowledge to prove that you’re keeping up with changes in regs and installation procedures and compliance and come with an electronically searchable certificate as evidence of that learning. Depending on the depth and level of our courses you will be able to show between 1 and 5 verifiable CPD points as evidence on completion of the course. So without further ado, your first question will be appear in this tab on Friday and then every Friday there’ll be a new question.
