Training as a specialist planner for preventive fire protection 2023

Particularly devastating fires can be avoided if the construction is well planned. Specialist planners must be in a position to create fire protection certificates or concepts as part of the approval process, because these are used in most countries for building classes 4 and 5 and for Special constructions required. 

Our training as a specialist planner for preventive fire protection relies on intensive knowledge transfer and 

Exchange in relation to both legal and engineering fundamentals, as well as with regard to building regulations procedures.

The course enables the participants to independently develop fire protection concepts for standard buildings (building

declasses 4 and 5) as well as for special buildings with a simple degree of difficulty. In addition, die 

laid the essential foundations for the concept creation for more complex special constructions.

The training is designed as a course.

Final exam in the form of a written exam, an oral exam and a term paper.
