FSI Promat ASFP training recognition: assurance notes for fire engineers
Reviewed by Tom Sullivan
First reported on The Construction Index
30 Second Briefing
FSI Promat has become the first internal fire stopping manufacturer to gain recognised provider status from the Association for Specialist Fire Protection (ASFP) for its technical training. The ASFP training recognition process audited course content, trainer competence, quality management systems, and supporting evidence on data protection, insurance, liability and delegate assessment methods. The accreditation gives installers, contractors and specifiers independent assurance that FSI Promat’s passive fire protection training is consistently delivered and subject to ongoing CPD-based competence review.
Technical Brief
- ASFP’s training recognition service carried out a technical audit of FSi Promat’s course content and delivery.
- Independent reviewers examined FSi Promat’s internal procedures for developing, approving and updating passive fire training materials.
- Quality management systems for maintaining consistent training standards were specifically assessed as part of the accreditation.
- Evidence of data protection controls for handling delegate information formed a mandatory component of the submission.
- FSi Promat had to demonstrate appropriate insurance and liability arrangements covering its technical training activities.
- Assessment methods for checking delegate understanding at the end of each session were scrutinised and documented.
- Ongoing CPD is embedded in the recognition, requiring regular competence review of trainers and course material.
Our Take
ASFP involvement signals alignment with UK best-practice guidance on passive fire protection, which can be a differentiator for FSI Promat when bidding on higher-risk infrastructure and public-sector works where third-party accreditation is increasingly written into specifications.
