BAFSA Accreditation

BAFSA has introduced two new accreditation schemes to help those in the sprinkler industry deliver high quality vocational learning and training to staff

BAFSA Course Accreditation

The BAFSA Course Accreditation Scheme (CAS) gives your vocational training the official seal of approval from the UK’s leading trade association for the fire sprinkler industry.

This respected accreditation is your mark of training excellence – a guarantee that your course content and delivery meet rigorous industry standards, giving clients, learners, and employers total confidence in your training.

Note: BAFSA accredits the quality of training and materials only – not individual products. Accredited courses may use the BAFSA logo on relevant materials to showcase this achievement.
