IFE Examinations

Welcome to the IFE examination pages.

The Institution's examinations are at present held once a year throughout the world and provide the opportunity for candidates to gain nationally accredited qualifications and to satisfy the academic requirement for membership at different grades. The examinations are designed to assess underpinning knowledge and understanding at different levels and the resulting qualifications are recognised internationally as evidence of academic achievement in fire engineering.

IFE Examination Results 2010

The examination scripts and answer sheets from this year's IFE examinations have been marked and the results have been sent to candidates, to overseas branches and to the UK fire and rescue services where appropriate.

The results have also been posted on the IFE website here

The appeals process is nearly complete and appellant candidates should receive notification of the outcome during the first week of September 2010. Our apologies go to candidates for the delay in advising them of the outcome of their appeals. Our thanks are also due to them for their patience. The very late issue of this year's results subsequently created delays in interconnected operations such as the appeals process.

If you are a resident overseas in a country which has a local branch, your application form and exam fees should be sent to your local branch for processing before 31 October. Please contact your local branch as soon as possible to avoid the risk of missing the deadline. Contact details for local branches can be found in the application form.
