ABBE Level 4 Diploma in Fire Risk Assessment (RQF)

Introduction 

The Awarding Body of the Built Environment (ABBE – regulated by Ofqual) Level 4 Diploma in Fire Risk Assessment.

The need for this Fire Risk Assessment qualification is due to the Government’s Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO), which requires fire risk assessments to be carried out by a ‘competent’ person.

This qualification provides learners with the knowledge suitable for fire risk assessors that are acting either in-house or as an external consultant acting as a ‘competent person’ as defined by the RRO.
