The IFE supports the concept and practice of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) believing it to be essential to effective performance as a professional fire engineer. The IFE defines CPD as:
The systematic maintenance, improvement and broadening of knowledge and skills and the development of personal qualities necessary for the execution of professional and technical duties throughout the practitioners working life.
The systematic maintenance, improvement, and broadening of knowledge and skills and the development of personal qualities necessary for the execution of professional and technical duties throughout the practitioner’s working life. All members and registrants are required to maintain and record CPD as detailed in the IFE Rules of Membership. As an IFE Registrant, well-maintained CPD is a condition of IFE registration as a Fire Risk Assessor/Auditor where you will be asked to produce your CPD record at each review, or to Engineering Council where CPD will be randomly sampled by the IFE.
