  • Providing communication on key legislative changes and other industry related news
  • Providing members with a bank of data of technical memos, and other relevant industry information
  • To regularly produce newsletters keeping members informed

IFEDA Training Courses

Members benefit from help and support in the form of on-going training, and industry recognised training courses. From fire extinguisher servicing to fire alarms and dry riser servicing, there are various courses available throughout the year.

Courses are held at our dedicated training venues in Warrington, Grantham, Buckingham, Andover and Cwmbran as well as other venues when required.

As a member of this fire trade association, you’ll also receive regular communication, both in the form of e-news, business and technical memos and printed newsletters containing up-to-date and relevant information relating to the fire protection industry.

Leading the way

IFEDA is also instrumental in promoting the benefits of these quality and professional industry standards to insurance companies, fire authorities, governments departments and other fire trade companies.

Leading the way in training IFEDA offers, amongst others, fire extinguisher training courses. IFEDA continues to champion third party accreditation, following the introduction of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

Logo

If you, as the Responsible Person, are looking for a fire protection company for your fire extinguisher servicing or any other aspect of fire safety and protection such as fire alarms and fire risk assessments, then look for the IFEDA logo: a sign demonstrating that the company has achieved, or is actively working towards, third party accreditation through ISO 9001 and BAFE.

Our commitment to third party accreditation helps us to promote quality standards in the fire industry through independent auditing and assessment.
