Introduction to Fire Competence in Aluminium Fenestration Systems

Fire Safety Training for Aluminium Fenestration Systems

Understand the risks. Build with Confidence.

Fire safety in construction is under more scrutiny than ever before. Our GQA-accredited Introduction to Fire Competence in Aluminium Fenestration Systems is a one-day training course designed to give you a solid, practical understanding of how fire safety regulations apply specifically to glazed windows, doors, and curtain walling.

Whether you're specifying products, overseeing contracts, or advising on compliance, this course gives you the knowledge you need to make safe, compliant choices.

What you'll Learn:

By the end of this training, you'll understand:

The impact of the recent Building Safety Legislation on competence, especially in safety-critical construction products.
The basics of fire behaviour and how it spreads through buildings.
The performance and use of fire-resistant glazing systems and how they're tested and classified.
What Building Regulations require and some relevant standards.
How windows and doors are used as part of the fire escape strategy and what Building Regulations and relevant standards say in relation to this.
How to interpret Building Regulations and how to apply them correctly to prevent external fire spread.

You'll also receive guidance on further reading and supporting documentation to deepen your understanding.

Course Highlights

GQA Accredited

This course is formally accredited by GQA Qualifications Ltd, a trusted certification body for the construction and fenestration industry. Pass the end-of-day assessment and walk away with a recognised certificate that proves your understanding of fire safety in aluminium systems.

Specific to Glazed Aluminium Systems

Forget generic fire training. This course is built specifically around windows, doors, and curtain walling giving you the detailed insight needed to work competently within the aluminium fenestration sector. It's targeted, relevant, and applicable.

Led by Industry Experts

Delivered in-person by fire safety specialists, this isn't textbook theory. You'll be guided by experts with decades of experience in aluminium system performance, regulation compliance, and product specification.

In-Person Training at Key Locations

This one-day course takes place at one of four convenient venues: Tewkesbury, Wakefield, Milton Keynes, or Central London. You'll benefit from face-to-face instruction, real examples, and peer-to-peer discussion in a fully interactive setting.

Why It Matters

New legislation has made fire safety even more of a non-negiotiable in today's construction industry. But glazing is often overlooked or misunderstood when it comes to compliance.

This training ensures that you're no longer guessing. It gives you the confidence to make informed product choices, protect users, and meet regulatory expectations. With a better grasp of fire classifications, hardware standards, and escape strategies, your specifications become more compliant and your projects safer.

You don't just protect the building; you protect the people inside it too.
