Who is this course designed for?
The course is designed for Coating Inspectors and industry professionals who want specialist knowledge of thin film intumescent fire protection systems.
What are thin film intumescent coatings?
Thin film intumescent coatings are passive fire protection systems applied to structural steel. When exposed to heat, the coating expands to form an insulating char that helps protect the steel.
What will I learn on the course?
You will learn about fire protection design, coating selection and thickness, wet and dry film thickness, quality control, inspection equipment, health and safety and inspection responsibilities.
How long does the course take?
The course includes approximately 8 hours of online study, with access to the learning platform for up to 12 months, followed by a monitored multiple-choice final examination.
Which industries use thin film intumescent coatings?
These systems are widely used in construction, commercial buildings, infrastructure and other environments where structural steel requires passive fire protection.
What qualification will I receive?
Successful candidates receive a Certificate of Achievement approved by the Association for Specialist Fire Protection (ASFP), valid for five years.
How can this course benefit my career?
The course adds specialist fire protection inspection knowledge to your professional skills and can support opportunities involving structural steel and passive fire protection projects.
