BAFSA heralds introduction of Fire Sprinkler Systems CPD Programme
13 April 2025
THE BRITISH Automatic Fire Sprinkler Association (BAFSA) has launched a new online education programme to afford those working within the fire suppression industry an in-depth exploration of how automatic fire sprinkler systems operate.

The Principles and Practices of Automatic Fire Sprinkler Systems (Continuing Professional Development) is tailored for both seasoned industry professionals and those who collaborate with the field, such as Fire and Rescue Service personnel, architects, insurers, Building Control officers and surveyors.
The CPD Programme covers essential topics including (but not limited to) ‘The Fire Triangle’, key functions and facts about fire sprinklers, system components, water storage tanks, installation control valves, system design (pre-calculated versus hydraulic), inspection and commissioning and also assessment and certification.
This is an engaging and self-paced online programme totalling approximately six hours of study across 16 modules. Learners can work through the content at their own pace and, upon completion, will earn a CPD Service-endorsed certificate.
To receive certification, participants must complete all modules and pass a brief multiple-choice assessment at the end of the process. The CPD certificate itself is downloadable directly within the platform.
Each learner will have six months of access to the CPD Programme.
