Fire risk assessment is an increasingly important profession, with organisations across the UK seeking competent individuals who can identify fire hazards, evaluate risks and help ensure buildings remain safe and compliant with fire safety legislation.
Whether you're looking to start a new career, develop your existing role or expand your fire safety knowledge, gaining the right training is the first step towards building competence.
While Delta Fire Engineering specialises in delivering fire engineering consultancy and fire risk assessments for clients across the UK, we work closely alongside our sister company, Delta Fire Training, which specialises in delivering professional fire safety education and regulated training courses.

Whether you're changing careers, taking on additional responsibilities within your current role or simply want to understand fire safety in greater depth, developing your knowledge step by step is key to building long-term competence.
Many people who train in fire risk assessment come from backgrounds such as:
You don't need to have years of fire safety experience before beginning your learning. Introductory training can provide a solid understanding of fire safety principles, legislation and the structured approach used when carrying out fire risk assessments, giving you the confidence to continue developing your skills through practical experience and further professional development.
If you already work within the fire safety or built environment sectors, expanding your knowledge of fire risk assessment can enhance your professional competence and support your Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
Delta Fire Training offers courses suitable for professionals including:
Training is designed to complement practical experience by helping delegates understand current legislation, recognised guidance and accepted industry methodologies.
Our Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) Mentoring service is designed to support organisations and individuals in strengthening and developing their fire safety competencies through practical, real-world experience. This offering enables clients to shadow our experienced Fire Risk Assessors during real site visits, gaining valuable insight into best practices, regulatory expectations, and effective risk identification. Alternatively, we can provide a shadowing service to external clients, providing a supportive environment that encourages knowledge sharing, confidence building, and professional development.
This two-way approach to shadowing creates a collaborative learning experience tailored to your organisation’s needs. Whether you or your team are newly qualified or seeking to refine their skills, our assessors provide constructive feedback, guidance, and clarification on fire related scenarios. The aim is not only to improve technical competence but also to enhance consistency and decision-making in fire risk assessments.
In addition to shadowing, we offer external quality assurance (QA) of Fire Risk Assessment reports. This service provides an independent review of your produced fire risk assessment report. Our detailed feedback highlights strengths, identifies areas for improvement, and supports continuous professional development within your team.
These services can be particularly beneficial for organisations looking to validate their internal processes, maintain high standards, and demonstrate due diligence in fire safety practices.

Developing into a Fire Risk Assessor is an ongoing journey. Formal training provides an important foundation, but competence also comes from practical experience, continued learning and staying up to date with evolving legislation, guidance and industry best practice.
If you're considering a career in fire safety or looking to broaden your existing responsibilities, Delta Fire Training offers a range of fire risk assessment courses designed to help learners at different stages of their professional development.
