Competence is not optional. Across the fire and building safety landscape, new legislation, evolving standards, and heightened public expectations are redefining what it means to be a “competent person.” From fire engineers and assessors to building safety managers and consultants, the industry is being challenged to raise the bar.

This session, delivered in partnership with the Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE), explores how professionals can actively build their own capability, strengthen their teams’ competence, and drive higher standards of performance across their organisation.

Understand current and emerging competence frameworks.

Bridge the gap between technical skills and leadership capability.

Create a culture of ongoing professional development across teams - from trainees to technical directors.
