BAFSA reaches CPD milestone and ABBE recognition
BAFSA's online learning centre has reached some key milestones this month. We have issued our 400th certificate for our Awareness of Automatic Fire Sprinkler Systems CPD course since its launch last October.
This free online course, developed by BAFSA, showcases the essential role automatic fire sprinkler systems play in safeguarding people and property. It covers the benefits of these systems, the various types available, their key components, and how they are tailored to suit the unique needs of different buildings, contents, and occupants.
BAFSA has also been awarded ABBE Direct Claim Status in delivery of the ABBE Level 2 Certificate in Fire Sprinkler Installation qualification.This is in addition to existing Direct Claim Status already held by our two preferred providers Neath Port Talbot College and Llandrillo College.
Direct Claims Status (DCS) is an earned right extended by an Awarding Body to an approved training centre. It grants these providers the authority to claim certificates for qualifications once approved by the Internal Quality Assurer (IQA) without the necessity of awaiting an External Quality Assurer (EQA) visit.
This status represents an earned privilege, reserved for those providers that demonstrate consistent effectiveness, thoroughness, and reliability in their teaching and assessment practices, a reputation earned through regular External Quality Assurance activities. Once achieved, the provider must continue this exceptional standard to maintain their Direct Claims Status.
Ruth Oliver BAFSA Skills & Qualifications Adviser says:"Congratulations to BAFSA tutor/assessors without their continuous effort to ensure robust assessment this status would not have been awarded. The industry should be proud that such rigorous assessment is evident and that ABBE has recognised this."
