The assessment process was set up and managed to a high standard, and each step was explained clearly prior to its undertaking. I felt the assessments were pitched at the correct levels and allowed candidates to demonstrate a wide and varied knowledge of the subject matter. Having been identified as competent to join the Tier 2 register (CFRAR), I feel this places me in a better position to demonstrate my level of competence with regards to our fire risk assessment undertakings. I would like to thank the assessors for their professional approach throughout the assessment day which certainly helped to set and demonstrate the correct, formal approach.

Through my membership of IFSM I was made aware of the three tier registration schemes. As a specialist in a specific industry sector, I felt the Tier 2 register was right for me. I found the process clear, with IFSM providing excellent guidance before and during the assessment. I thought the examination stage was challenging and I felt a sense of achievement when I passed. Having the Tier 2 status has given me confidence and my clients an additional assurance to bolster their third party accreditation processes.

The mentor was very good, very patient and I came out with clarity on a couple of things which had been not so clear in my mind. I’d recommend anyone at my level to take the opportunity to shadow. Thank you so much for connecting us. I have felt really quite alone at times - it’s pretty daunting being a self-employed FRA at my level and your confidence can take a knock at times, especially when you don’t have anyone to bounce ideas off. This is a brilliant programme and I’m extremely grateful to the IFSM for the opportunities it might present.
 

Jenny Reynolds-Rasselli

Tier 1

Bob's passion for fire safety and constant drive to improve his knowledge was inspiring, so much so that I started to look at potential fire engineering degrees such as UCLAN, but considering my age (50), the cost of a degree and possible effects on my current work/life balance, I decided to bring my aspiration down to earth for the area where I live, such as fire door inspection courses. Pembrokeshire doesn't have many tall buildings over 3 or 4 storeys! It was a pleasure to spend the time I did with Bob.
 
I also had to forego two full day of potential income, and I drove 5 hours to Warrington from Pembrokshire. Did I regret it? No, and I would recommend that anyone on Tier 1 take every mentorship opportunity available to spend time with experience Fire Risk Assessors like Bob within the IFSM.
 

Arfon Fry

TIFSM, CMIOSH, AIFireE

Beyond just being a professional Institute, I see the IFSM as a family of professional people with professional mindsets, a place where everyone is special irrespective of the class of membership. IFSM has challenged me to continually think, act, and upgrade myself professionally.
