While enrolments for the qualification were initially received only from BAFSA companies, the 2017 courses have seen three non-BAFSA companies enrolling employees, with one being a sub-contractor within the industry. However, we cannot rest as we must ensure the qualification is continually supported to remain fit for purpose and available to the industry. The hard work BAFSA and the Skills & Development Committee have undertaken over the last few years is showing results in a continuing demand for this qualification. With 24 students enrolled in 2015 the first year of qualification delivery, 21 enrolled in 2016, this year, 2017, has seen 26 enrolments across the two colleges with further requests for courses to be delivered in other areas of the UK. With a labour shortage predicted for 2020, the IQ L2 Fire Sprinkler Installation certificate is becoming increasingly important.
The course encourages professionalism in the industry while offering a route to inspire new younger workers into the sector. The IQ Level 2 Certificate in Fire Sprinkler Installation (QCF) is a qualification aimed at individuals employed in the fire sprinkler industry and is intended for people employed in installing fire sprinklers to develop the knowledge and competencies necessary to meet the industry standards for the installation role. It is three years since the British Automatic Fire Sprinkler Association (BAFSA) delivered its ‘ Vision for the Future’ which led on to the successful development of a competency based qualification for fire sprinkler installers. Unique sprinkler installation course has record number of enrolments in 2017, says Ruth Oliver, Skills & Qualifications Adviser to BAFSA
