CPD for Passive Fire Protection
Legislative and technical changes mean fire safety is now a key priority at every aspect of the project lifecycle. For instance, the Building Safety Act has introduced stricter oversight, clearer responsibilities and stronger competency expectations, particularly for those managing higher-risk buildings.
In addition, digital information management is now fundamental to safety requirements. The availability of accurate and traceable data, in line with the Golden Thread approach, is vital for allowing dutyholders to understand asset performance, identify issues, and manage risk throughout a building’s lifespan.
Our training is designed for professionals responsible for specifying, installing, managing or overseeing fire protection systems. Through structured, evidence-based learning, users can improve their industry competence, deepen their understanding of evolving regulations, and strengthen their capabilities across passive and active fire protection.
Key Features
and Benefits of
Passive Fire
Protection Training
Participants gain a deeper technical understanding, improved regulatory awareness and practical insight into how fire protection systems work in real environments. This leads to stronger compliance, reduced risk, more informed decision-making and better collaboration across project teams.
Legislation & Compliance Expertise
Our courses explain the latest regulatory changes and their impact on roles, responsibilities and building safety. These include requirements for complying with the Building Safety Act and guidance for aligning passive fire protection strategies with Golden Thread obligations.
Multi-Disciplinary Relevance
Training is designed for stakeholders across the building lifecycle, with guidance on how early engagement, correct specifications and supply chain alignment helps teams coordinate more effectively. Throughout the training, users will be presented with real examples of failure points to learn how to mitigate risks and make clear links between design intent, installation quality and regulatory compliance.
Immersive Virtual Training Environment
We deliver the UK’s first fully virtual passive fire protection training suite. Users will explore real project scenarios through interactive walkthroughs of fire systems, step-by-step examples of compliant and non-compliant installations, and practical demonstrations of key products and technologies.

Legislative Drivers & Compliance
This section explains the regulatory framework governing fire protection and clarifies responsibilities under the Building Safety Act, including dutyholder roles and associated liabilities. It also covers inspection frequency requirements for residential and communal areas, alongside expectations for documentation, record-keeping and alignment with Golden Thread principles.
The Golden Thread & Digital Transformation
Focusing on how technology is reshaping building safety, this aspect of the training looks at digital accountability and information management. It explores the principles of the Golden Thread, how safety data is captured, verified and maintained, and the use of digital platforms to support traceable decision-making and auditability.
Engagement Strategy
Effective engagement with fire protection specialists is critical to successful project delivery. Users will be guided on when and how to involve fire experts, with emphasis on early-stage coordination and design input, reducing rework and delays, and applying best practices in specification and supply chain management.
Passive Fire Protection
The virtual tour provides a practical walkthrough of real passive fire protection systems within CLM’s digital construction environment. It covers firestopping, cavity barriers, structural protection and fire doors, highlighting examples of compliant and non-compliant installations alongside key performance characteristics and failure risk indicators.
