This comprehensive CPD-certified course has been carefully designed to equip learners with a solid understanding of the core principles of passive fire protection. Developed with a clear focus on supporting candidates preparing to sit the IFE Level 2 Certificate in Passive Fire Protection, the course provides a strong foundation in fire science, human behaviour in fire scenarios, and the essential differences between passive and active fire protection systems.

Whether you’re new to the field or looking to build on existing fire safety knowledge, this course offers accessible and targeted learning designed to enhance understanding and improve exam performance. It covers both the theoretical and practical aspects of passive fire protection, empowering learners to apply knowledge effectively in real-world fire safety roles.

Course Structure and Content of IFE Level 2 Certificate
In line with recent updates from the Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE), the Level 2 Certificate has now been divided into four distinct units. This course provides in-depth preparation and study guidance across all four of these units:

1. IFE Level 2 Award in Passive Fire Protection – Doors and Shutters
   This unit explores the fire protection properties, installation standards, and maintenance requirements of fire-resistant doors and shutters. It addresses the critical role these elements play in compartmentation and fire spread prevention.

2. IFE Level 2 Award in Passive Fire Protection – Fire Stopping, Barriers, Ductwork and Dampers
   Learners will gain a deep understanding of fire-stopping techniques, cavity barriers, and how to effectively seal penetrations in walls and floors. The course also explains the role of ductwork and fire/smoke dampers in maintaining fire resistance.

3. IFE Level 2 Award in Passive Fire Protection – Walls, Floors, Ceilings and Glazing
   This unit focuses on structural elements that provide compartmentation in buildings. The course outlines the fire-resistant properties of construction materials, glazing systems, and the integration of passive fire measures into the fabric of the building.

4. IFE Level 2 Award in Passive Fire Protection – Building Structural Frame and Flame Retardant Coatings
   Learners will examine the role of the building’s structural frame in passive fire protection, along with the application, performance, and compliance requirements of flame retardant coatings for structural steel and other components.

Key Features of IFE Level 2 Certificate

• CPD Certified: Gain a recognised certification of Continuing Professional Development, adding value to your professional profile.

• Targeted Exam Preparation: The course is tailored specifically to the structure and content of the IFE Level 2 Certificate, increasing learners’ chances of exam success.

• Accessible Learning: Suitable for a wide range of learners, including fire safety professionals, facilities managers, contractors, and those new to passive fire protection.

Who Should Enrol into IFE Level 2 Certificate?
This course is ideal for anyone pursuing the IFE Level 2 Certificate in Passive Fire Protection or working in a role where understanding fire protection systems is essential. It is particularly beneficial for:

• Safety officers and inspectors

• Building control officers

• Facilities and risk managers

• Fire protection contractors and installers

• Those seeking to expand their CPD portfolio or transition into the fire safety industry

Passive fire protection is a vital part of any fire safety strategy. Unlike active systems (like sprinklers or alarms), passive systems work behind the scenes, built into the structure of a building to contain fire, protect escape routes, and ultimately save lives. A solid understanding of passive fire protection principles is crucial for anyone involved in the design, maintenance, inspection, or approval of buildings.
