Find an NOCN Approved Centre
The BWF has partnered with NOCN (the National Open College Network), an Ofqual Regulated Awarding Organisation and one of the UK’s largest quality assurance providers, to develop a two-day Fire Door Installation Awareness course. On this page you will find details of the current Approved Centres to deliver the course. Please note some providers can offer on site training outside the region they are listed. Contact the approved centre you’re interested in to make an enquiry.
Why an Approved Centre?
The course materials and delivery for this Fire Door Installation Awareness training have been developed by the BWF – the organisation’s first ever third-party assured course – and can only be delivered by National Open College Network (NOCN) Approved Centres, based on robust criteria. This ensures that training providers meet the highest standards set by the Awarding Organisation, the BWF and individual criteria for NOCN assured courses. In addition, each trainer must also meet specific standards to demonstrate their competence, knowledge and skills regarding timber fire door installation.
On completion of the Fire Door Installation Awareness course, participants will achieve recognised certification for the assured course featuring the NOCN and BWF logos. The course also provides candidates with an opportunity to progress on to the achievement of the relevant National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) unit for the installation of fire doors.
