ProQual Level 4 Certificate in Fire Risk Assessment

Develop and demonstrate your ability to plan, undertake and report on fire risk assessments for low- and moderate-risk buildings. This Ofqual-regulated qualification combines knowledge and competence outcomes, aligned to the intermediate fire risk assessment competencies outlined in BS 8674:2025.

Suitable for experienced fire risk assessors or holders of the Level 3 Award in Fire Risk Assessment seeking to develop their assessment practice.

• Five mandatory units covering assessment principles, fire precautions, risk management and professional development.

• Knowledge workbooks and practical assessment activities, including reviewing existing assessments and producing fire risk assessment reports.

• Two distinct moderate-risk reports within SHEC Learning®’s assessment plan.

• Live assessor observations, with suitable activities observed and recorded through Microsoft Teams.

• Learner guidance, assessor feedback and online evidence submission through Quals Direct.

Before enrolling: You must be aged 18 or over and normally hold the ProQual Level 3 Award in Fire Risk Assessment or have at least three years’ demonstrable fire risk assessment experience. SHEC Learning® will review your suitability and access to appropriate assessment opportunities before enrolment.

Achievement supports your development as a fire risk assessor within the qualification’s scope. It does not automatically confer a BS 8674 competence level or establish competence to assess every building type.
