Recognition of Training

Recognition of Training Courses, Training Providers and Educational Programmes

The IFE reviews specific training courses, the general quality of training providers and educational programmes of study. Successful applications result in IFE recognition, the use of the appropriate IFE recognition logo (for use on certificates and promotional materials) and inclusion within the relevant online IFE recognition directory.  

IFE recognised educational programmes offer successful delegates full or partial exemption from the academic entry requirements for specific grades of IFE membership.   If you would like further information, please email recognitions@ife.org.uk. 

The IFE also recognises Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) courses for the purposes of the IFE's Fire Risk Register.   Recognised FRA courses and a list of registered Fire Risk Assessors can be found here.
