Level 3 Award — Inspection & Testing of Fire Resisting Door Installations

Learn to inspect, test and certify fire doors to the current standards — and walk away with a nationally recognised ProQual qualification, not a one-day CPD certificate. Mandatory e-learning, then one practical day in Hatfield — or a blended on-site (OSAT) route for experienced workers. Unit M/617/7494.

⚠ Why this matters

Since the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, building owners must have fire doors inspected by someone competent. Many courses hand out a CPD attendance printout. This is a real Ofqual-regulated ProQual Level 3 Award — the qualification that proves you can do the job and stand behind your report.

The DB College Difference
A real qualification — not an attendance certificate

What You’ll Learn
Real doorsets, real inspection skills

You leave able to inspect a fire doorset, judge it against the standards, and produce a report a responsible person can act on.

📋

The Law & Standards

The Fire Safety Order, Approved Document B and the testing standards (BS 476-22, BS EN 1634-1, BS EN 16034, BS 8214) that define a compliant doorset.

🚪

The Doorset

Leaf, frame, seals, hinges, closers and glazing — what makes a certified doorset, and why changing one part can void the lot.

🔍

Inspect & Report

The five-step inspection, gap tolerances, pass / fail decisions, and writing the quality, accurate reports the qualification requires.

Why DB College
The fire door course that gives you the real qualification

We don’t just teach you to inspect — we give you the regulated qualification that proves it.

🏆 Level 3 — Not CPD

A nationally recognised, Ofqual-regulated ProQual Level 3 Award. Not a CPD printout, not an in-house certificate — the qualification that stands up when it matters.

🔥 Driven by the Law

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 made competent fire door inspection a legal expectation. This qualification puts you on the right side of it.

🔧 Hands-On From Day One

You inspect real fire doorsets and use inspection software — not endless theory. You practise the exact routine you’ll use on site.

🎓 40 CPD Hours

Recognised by the Institution of Fire Engineers and the Institute of Fire Safety Managers — genuine continuing professional development.

📍 Hatfield Training Centre

Delivered at our centre in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, with group and on-site delivery available for employers.

✅ Internally Quality Assured

Assessment is internally verified by Bogdan Drosu (MCIOB, CertIOSH) and externally quality assured by ProQual.

Frequently Asked
Got questions?

Here are the most common ones. If yours isn’t here, WhatsApp us.

Is this a real qualification or just a CPD certificate?+
This is the ProQual Level 3 Award in the Inspection and Testing of Fire Resisting Door Installations (Ofqual reference 603/4995/5) — a nationally recognised, regulated qualification, not a CPD attendance printout. It also carries 40 CPD hours recognised by the Institution of Fire Engineers.
What’s the difference between the Full Course and the Experienced Worker route?+
Both routes cost £699 and both start with the mandatory e-learning on our platform. Route 1 (Full Course) then adds one full day of training at Hatfield plus the written and practical assessment — for people new to fire door inspection. Route 2 (Blended OSAT) is for experienced workers already inspecting or maintaining fire doors: after the e-learning, an assessor observes you on site carrying out a full fire door inspection — completing the checks, recording your findings and reporting them — across residential and commercial doors. Contact us and we’ll confirm which route fits you.
What does the mandatory pre-course e-learning cover?+
Five short online modules on the DB College platform: what a fire door is and how it is constructed; why fire doors matter and the risk when they fail; how fire doors and their surrounding areas are controlled; the importance of maintenance; and a final exam. It is around 40 minutes of video content with a 70% pass mark on each module, completed in your own time before your course days or OSAT visit. It is included in the £699.
What are the entry requirements?+
There are two recognised routes. Fire door installers should hold the ProQual Level 2 Diploma in Installing Fire Resisting Timber Doorsets. Those in a responsible or supervisory role should have a health & safety background such as SSSTS, SMSTS, IOSH or NEBOSH. We carry out an initial assessment before delivery to identify any gaps.
How is it assessed?+
Assessment is a 52-question written paper with a 75% pass mark, plus a practical inspection assessment on real fire doorsets. It is internally assessed and quality assured by DB College and externally verified by ProQual. The practical assessment is allocated once you have passed the written paper and met the entry criteria.
Where and when does the course run?+
Route 1 runs at our training centre in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, over one full day. Route 2 OSAT assessments are carried out at your workplace on an arranged date, covering residential and commercial fire doors. Group bookings and on-site delivery for employers can be arranged — contact us for the next available date.
Who will I get my card / certificate from?+
On successful completion, ProQual issues the full Level 3 Award certificate through DB College. The qualification is recognised across the fire safety, facilities management and passive fire protection sectors as evidence of competence to inspect fire doors.
