Assessment Methods
Fire Safety Advisor Course
The Fire Safety Advisor course contains progressive assessment throughout the course, including demonstration of practical skills and written and oral questions relating to underpinning knowledge. Students are required to complete a workplace project following their course attendance.
Workplace Project
Fire Safety Advisor course students are required to complete a workplace project following the 2-day course. This project enables the student to use the knowledge and skills gained during the classroom training for practical application to their own workplace. The workplace project is completed online via DELTRA Australia’s website where each student receives access to their own personal learning portal with reading and practical tasks to be completed. Typically, students complete the workplace project within one month following the classroom training.
Students attending the FSA Recertification course are not required to complete a workplace project.
FSA Recertification Course
DELTRA Australia’s Fire Safety Advisor recertification course consists of a 3-step process:
- Complete an online assessment prior to the course, upon enrolment. Students should allow approximately 30-40 minutes to complete the enrolment process.
- Conduct a fire safety audit in your workplace using the QFES Fire Safety Management Tool for Owner/Occupiers (a link to access this tool is provided upon enrolment).
- Attend a one-day refresher course in the classroom. Students are required to perform practical activities and participate in discussion throughout the duration of the course.
FSA Recertification students are required to achieve competency in both written and practical assessment. In order to reduce the classroom time required, students must bring the following documentation to their refresher day:
- A JP-certified copy of your previous Fire Safety Advisor Statement of Attainment. This certificate must be within the validity period of 3 years from the date of issue. (If you attended your previous course with DELTRA Australia, you are not required to bring a copy of your certificate.)
- A completed Fire Safety Audit which you have conducted in your workplace using the QFES Fire Safety Management Tool for Owner/Occupiers.
- A copy of your workplace emergency plan (including an evacuation diagram).
- A copy of your fire and emergency training records for the past 12 months (including evacuation practice reports).
Students who do not bring these documents to the refresher day will be required to complete additional work after the course, which will delay issuing of the recertification certificate.
