ASFP training to include Certificates of Attendance for CPD
01 September 2025
THE ASSOCIATION for Specialist Fire Protection (ASFP) has announced an important development in its passive fire protection training programme. Following extensive discussions around the recognition of training for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) purposes, all ASFP training courses will now issue Certificates of Attendance that evidence learning hours.

These certificates will contribute directly towards a given individual’s CPD record, ensuring that the valuable skills and knowledge gained through ASFP training are formally recognised by employers, professional bodies and accreditation schemes alike.
From this point on, all delegates undertaking any ASFP training course – whether delivered in-person or online – will have access to a Certificate of Attendance detailing the relevant training hours. This will allow attendees to accurately record and evidence their professional development activities.
Breakdown of hours
Classroom-based training
*Level 2: 30 hours
*Level 3: 42 hours
Online training
*Awareness: 1 hour
*Introduction: 3 hours
*Firestopping for Installers (FSFI): 3 hours
*Level 2 Options: 8 hours
*Level 2 Single Module: 4 hours
*Level 3: 16 hours
New approach
This new approach ensures that participants’ efforts are formally documented and that all learning counts towards maintaining and enhancing competence in the domain of passive fire protection.
The move aligns with the ASFP’s commitment to raising competence standards in the fire protection industry. Whether gaining an initial understanding through a short awareness course or deepening technical expertise at Level 3, learners can now be confident that their achievements are clearly recognised and verifiable.
