Course Overview
What is this course
The ProQual Level 3 Award in the Inspection and Testing of Fire Resisting Door Installations equips fire safety professionals with critical skills to verify FD30/FD60 door compliance. This Ofqual-regulated qualification delivers 15 Guided Learning Hours (GLH) and 30 Total Qualification Time (TQT), focusing on gap gauging, intumescent seal checks, and hardware testing per BS 8214 and BS EN 1634 standards. Spanning 3-4 days, it ensures installers meet Building Regulations Part B for smoke/fire containment.
Unlike basic fire door fitting courses, this Level 3 emphasises independent verification through practical assessments: smoke seals, self-closers, vision panels, and frame alignment. Learners master pass/fail criteria for third-party certification, identifying defects like overfills or non-compliant hinges that compromise compartmentation. With 30 CPD hours, it addresses post-Grenfell scrutiny on building safety, delivering hands-on competence in real-site conditions.
Advance from installer to certified Fire Door Inspector, unlocking CSCS roles and premium contracts in commercial/high-rise projects. This credential builds regulatory confidence, prevents fines, and positions you as a compliance expert – a vital step toward Level 4/5 passive fire qualifications in the UK’s evolving safety landscape
