Advance your auditing expertise for complex premises and environments.
The SFJ Awards Level 5 Diploma in Fire Engineering Design (Technician) is an advanced qualification designed for experienced fire safety professionals seeking to develop specialist knowledge in fire engineering design.
This programme equips learners with the technical understanding and practical skills required to assess, audit and review engineered fire safety strategies in complex buildings. It supports progression to Fire Engineering Technician status and enables professionals to apply engineering principles to real-world fire safety challenges.
Learners will gain the competence to critically evaluate fire engineering solutions, understand the impact of design decisions on human behaviour and structural performance, and contribute confidently to complex building projects.
Exploring fire development, fire dynamics, and core engineering principles that underpin performance-based design.
Understanding how design decisions influence occupant behaviour, evacuation strategies, and structural fire resistance.
Evaluating suppression systems, smoke control strategies, pressure differential systems, and external fire spread considerations.
Applying fire and evacuation modelling principles, reviewing engineered design solutions, and demonstrating competence through portfolio work and written assignments.
This qualification is designed for experienced fire safety professionals, fire engineers, and inspectors who wish to specialise in fire engineering design and performance-based solutions.
There are no formal entry requirements. However, learners should have significant fire safety experience (typically at Level 4), be familiar with Approved Document B and BS 9999, and be capable of working at Level 5.
