    Many of our courses are suitable for learners who are new to the subject, while others are designed for experienced fire and security technicians or have specific prerequisites.

    Please check the course description and any entry requirements before booking. If you're unsure whether a course is right for you, we're always happy to help you choose the most appropriate option.

    Tea, coffee and refreshments are available throughout the day for all classroom learners.

    For full-day courses, a complimentary lunch is also provided. Before your training date, we'll contact you to ask about any dietary requirements or allergies to ensure suitable catering is arranged.

  • Does this course make me compliant?

    Training is an important part of demonstrating competence, but attending a course alone does not make an individual or organisation compliant.

    Compliance depends on a range of factors, including appropriate qualifications, experience, competence, company procedures and ongoing professional development.

    Our courses are designed to help learners understand current requirements and apply industry best practice with confidence.

  • What standard is covered?

    Each course is based on the current edition of the relevant British Standard, legislation or industry guidance, as detailed in the course description.

    Where standards are updated, we regularly review and update our training materials to reflect the latest requirements and industry best practice.

  • How often should I refresh my knowledge?

    There is no single answer, as it depends on your role and the subjects you work with.

    Many technicians choose to refresh their knowledge whenever standards are updated, legislation changes or new technologies emerge. Regular CPD also helps maintain confidence and supports continued professional competence.

  • Why does Ember Compliance focus on competence?

    At Ember Compliance, we believe training should do more than simply help learners attend a course or pass an assessment.

    Our aim is to support long-term professional competence by providing practical, relevant training that helps technicians apply their knowledge with confidence and continue developing throughout their careers.
