Hi, can anyone help ? My son is seeking to be a fire safety engineer and has asked me for advice, of which I'm not helping much! He wants to eventually do building surveying and codes type work relating to fire
I guess my question is what is his starting point,, Nebosh fire?, and then after that?
He would really like a modern apprenticeship if possible but there doesn't seem to be any around for this type of work, he is time served in engineering, but has decided that he wants career where he can make a signifant difference Anybody help or guidance would be appreciated

PJA - you say your son is time served in Engineering, but what sort of engineering? There's a whole load of difference between the existing skills set of e.g. a CNC lathe setter-operator and someone who installs heating and ventilating equipment, or a structural engineering technician. Need to know the background of the individual to even start to hazard a guess as the appropriate route towards such a career change.

A NEBOSH Fire Cert doens't make you into a fire engineer - its a far too simplistic qualification, makes someone slightly more knowledgeable than your average bod about fire safety. A fire engineer is a degree level qualification. I believe Leeds University and the University of Central Lancashire i.e. Preston run fire safety engineering degree courses. There are probably others.
