ABBE Level 3 Certificate in Fire Risk Assessment

• About Fire Risk Assessment
• Certification and Training Fees

The ABBE level 3 certificate qualifies candidates to undertake fire risk assessments on buildings meeting the following criteria:

• Low to medium rise (up to five storeys)
• Low to medium occupancy (<60 employees or <300 persons if a public-access building)
• Single or multiple occupancy
• Routine but not excessive public access
• A building for which appropriate action plans can be largely developed using Publicly Available Specification (PAS)79 and government guidance
• No routine hazardous processes or storage risks*

*Isolated instances may occur.

Stroma offers the level 3 qualification as a four day course which combines theory modules with practical experience. Upon completion of the training, candidates enter a period of assessment, during which they must demonstrate their ability to practise competently as a fire risk assessor. Completed assessments will be submitted to Stroma for formal evaluation; this is necessary to confirm that candidates are in line with current National Occupational Standards (NOS).

N.B. ABBE is currently developing a level 4 qualification for carrying out assessments on more complex buildings with higher occupancy levels.
