Global Academy Launches Innovative Fire Safety Design Qualification for 2025. Global Academy, the dedicated training arm of Global HSE Group, has officially launched its latest industry-leading qualification: Understanding Fire Safety Design. Developed to meet the evolving needs of the construction and design sectors, this comprehensive program aims to equip professionals with critical knowledge and practical skills to seamlessly integrate fire safety into building design.
Crafted in collaboration with technical experts across Global HSE Group, the new qualification offers a structured, hands-on learning experience. Participants will not only gain a strong theoretical foundation in fire safety principles, but will also be required to apply these concepts in realistic design scenarios—ensuring alignment with current building regulations and best practices.
“Fire safety is a fundamental component of modern building design,” said Andrew Cooper, Managing Director at Global HSE Group. “This qualification represents a major step forward in closing the knowledge gap and giving professionals the tools they need to embed safety from the earliest design stages.”
Targeted at those with design responsibilities—including Principal Designers, project leads, and contractors with fire design accountability—the course addresses a well-documented industry gap in fire safety expertise.
“We’ve seen firsthand how this gap can impact compliance and safety,” noted Chris Sharman, Head of Technical and Training at Global HSE Group. “This program has been purpose-built for those working in complex construction environments, where fire safety knowledge isn’t optional—it’s essential.”
By bridging theory and application, Global Academy’s new offering underlines its commitment to advancing industry standards and fostering competency in a regulatory landscape that is becoming increasingly stringent.
Enrolment is now open, and professionals across the design and construction sectors are encouraged to register early to secure their place. For more information or to apply, visit the qualification’s homepage.
