Who Needs A Fire Door Inspection Course?
Fire door inspection courses are designed for people who professionally inspect fire doors as part of their role. This includes:
- Building managers and maintenance staff
- Facilities management professionals
- Housing association officers
- HMO licensing officers
- Health and safety consultants
- Property surveyors and assessors
If you are a homeowner, landlord or small property manager — you do not need to complete an inspection course. You can hire a certified fire door inspector to conduct inspections on your behalf.
Recognised UK Fire Door Inspection Qualifications
FDIS Certification
Fire Door Inspection Scheme — the most recognised UK qualification. Run by the BWF (British Woodworking Federation). Certified Fire Door Inspectors (CertFDIs) are the gold standard in UK fire door inspection.
BM TRADA Q-Mark Inspector
Industry-recognised inspector qualification with strong emphasis on hands-on fire door assessment.
IFE Fire Safety Qualifications
Institution of Fire Engineers qualifications include fire door inspection as part of wider fire safety competency.
Do You Need Training Or An Inspector? — If you manage 3 or more properties with fire doors, consider training one member of staff. For smaller portfolios, it's usually more cost-effective to hire a certified inspector when needed. Doorz London works with FDIS-certified inspectors for formal compliance reports.
What A Fire Door Inspection Course Covers
- UK fire door regulations and legal framework

How Much Does Fire Door Inspection Training Cost?
Typical UK course fees range from £400 to £1,500 depending on provider and qualification level. Most courses include 1-3 days of training plus an assessment. FDIS certification also requires ongoing CPD (continuing professional development) to maintain.
Alternative: Hire Doorz For Inspections
Instead of training staff, Doorz London can conduct fire door inspections across your properties with full written reports and compliance documentation. This is usually more cost-effective than training unless you manage a very large portfolio.
