Become a Centre | Step One
Talk with FireQual
Get the process started by talking to our team so we can understand your organisation, your training objectives and how we can support you. Following this initial conversation, you will receive an Approved Training Centre Application Pack, containing the application form, guidance notes and details of the supporting documentation required.
If you have any questions along the way, our team will be on hand to help throughout application process.

Submit your application
Once your application has been received, FireQual will assess whether your organisation meets the requirements to become an Approved Training Centre. This may include:
- Publicly available company and organisational information
- Relevant accreditations and regulatory approvals
- Review of any public funding contracts
- Your policies and procedures
- Assessment of staff qualifications and CPD records
If we require any additional information or clarification, our team will be in touch before progressing to the next stage of the approval process.
Become a Centre | Step Three
Application decision made
Once the review process has been completed, FireQual will confirm the outcome of your application. In some cases, we may request further information or agree some actions before approval is granted.
Successful applicants will be asked to sign the FireQual Approved Training Centre Agreement, which outlines the responsibilities and expectations required to deliver FireQual qualifications.
Once approved, you will receive an Approval certificate and a welcome pack containing everything you need to get started. Our team will continue to provide support and guidance throughout the onboarding experience and beyond.
Quality Assurance
Once your application has been approved, FireQual will arrange a quality assurance meeting, either virtually or in person. This discussion provides an opportunity to explore areas such as:
- Delivery and management plans
- Quality assurance procedures
- Available resources
- Staff roles, competence and experience
Feedback will be provided during the meeting and any next steps will be confirmed following FireQual’s review process.
Unsuccessful Applications
If an application is referred for further activities, this typically indicates that additional evidence is needed to meet approval requirements. FireQual will provide an action plan outlining the necessary steps and is available to offer guidance throughout the process.
Applicants may choose to withdraw and reapply at a later date. In such cases, it is recommended to review the feedback from the initial application to strengthen future submissions.
