  • A candidate who appeals against a fail decision must submit in writing the grounds for the appeal.

  • Candidates will be charged an appeal fee of £30 per paper, which will be refunded in the event of the appeal being successful. Please make cheques out to The Institution of Fire Engineers.

  • Appellant candidates will be notified in writing about the outcome of their appeals and the further courses of action open to them.
