Entry Requirements

There are no formal entry requirements. However, candidates are advised that mathematical skills will be required in order to carry out and complete calculations in section 1 of the examination.  As the examination is provided in English only, candidates will need to have a comprehensive understanding of the English language in order to access the examination questions.

Progression

Candidates who are successful in achieving the Level 2 Certificate will have developed knowledge and understanding that will prepare them to undertake further study.

Candidates may wish to progress to qualifications at Level 3 such as the IFE Level 3 Certificate and/or the IFE Level 3 Diploma. Candidates may choose to progress to specific units only at Level 3 (e.g. Fire Safety) if they prefer to extend specific aspects of their knowledge and understanding rather than achieving full qualifications.

Further Information

Further information on examination conditions is available in the IFE Guidance for taking exams for students taking examinations in October 2026.
