Course Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, learners will be able to:
-
Understand the regulations and standards applying to fire-rated timber doorsets
-
Interpret the given information relating to the work and resources when installing fire-rated timber doorsets
-
Select the required quantity and quality of resources for the methods of work to install fire-rated timber doorsets
Course Content
The course is delivered over four seminars, each addressing key aspects of Timber Doorsets. The core content of each seminar is described below:
Seminar 1 – Regulations, Standards and Guidance, including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2021 and the Building Safety Act 2022. The course will also introduce concepts from fire strategy guidance including, though not limited to, Approved Document B, BS 9999 and BS 9991. This seminar provides the learner with a grounding knowledge in regulations and standards relevant to timber doorsets.
Seminar 2 – Fire Door Classification, including key terms and definitions, the different types of timber doorsets and the components of a fire door. This seminar provides the learner with comprehensive information about how fire doors are specified in a Fire Strategy, and the correct classification of doorsets and components.
Seminar 3 – Fire Door Testing, including the relevant testing standards for timber fire doors. This seminar gives the learner the opportunity to explore fire door testing standards and to understand the theory behind how timber doors are classified, as well as their potential failure modes in a real fire scenario.
Seminar 4 – Timber Doorsets Installation and Maintenance, including quality checking of installations, planning necessary remedial works and the key findings for a Fire Risk Assessment and/or Fire Door Survey. This seminar provides the learner with skills to identify compliance issues in timber fire door installations and to review relevant source material to find information about fire-rated doorsets.
Note that this course is not intended to give competency in undertaking Fire Risk Assessments or Fire Door Surveys, however may serve as a pathway towards the Level 03 in Intermediate Fire Risk Assessment or the Level 03 in Inspection and Testing of Fire Resisting Doors.
Our Technical Understanding of Timber Doorsets course includes comprehensive detail about the testing regime for fire doors, and the technical specification of these critical fire safety components.
The course is delivered using a mix of digital content (e.g. slidedecks as shown), as well as activities led by the Course Tutor and suggested reading.
Who Will Benefit?
This course will be of interest to a diverse range of learners, including but not limited to:

-
Approval authorities
This course will be of particular interest to Fire Engineers, Fire Risk Assessors and Fire Surveyors, as well as Building Managers who hold responsibility for fire door checks.
Entry Requirements
There are no formal prerequisites for this course, although a basic understanding of construction or fire safety is beneficial.
Assessment
This qualification is competence-based and candidates must therefore demonstrate the level of competence described within the Qualification Specification.
Assessment for this course is by way of a multiple-choice open-book exam that learners must submit within one month of completing the classroom session. A full assessment brief is provided in Seminar 4 of the course.
Certification
Upon successful completion of the course and passing the assessment, learners will be awarded the 'ProQual Level 02 Award in Technical Understanding of Timber Doorsets'. All delegates will also be provided with a Delta Training Academy CPD certificate on the final day of the course.
