What our customers say
"A big thank you to Adrian for sharing his expertise and to all of our colleagues who attended, both in person and virtually.
The session reinforced the critical role of passive fire protection, from compartmentation and service penetrations to the importance of test evidence, certification and quality installation."
"It was a pleasure today to have Adrian Paynter from Quelfire visit our Artec Fire Manchester office to not only discuss Quelfire products and detail but also provide some relevant CPD training to our fire engineers and risk management team on product selection and what to look out for."
"This week the Smith Consult team tuned into the Quelfire Effective Passive Fire Protection webinar. The webinar highlighted the importance of early firestopping engagement and reviewing the tested scope of application, to ensure the safe protection of people and property, whilst minimising potential construction delays and costs. Thanks Craig Wells for hosting!"
"Today we welcomed Adrian Paynter from Quelfire to the Training Zone to deliver product installation training for our passive fire team. A valuable session that sharpened skills, updated knowledge, and reinforced best practice across our projects.
We’ve trusted Quelfire products since 2019 (almost 7 years to the day since our first order!). Their range of products and certificated details, together with consistency and technical support continue to be a strong part of our passive fire strategy."
"Today I completed a fantastic CPD webinar delivered by Quelfire on Effective Passive Fire Protection for Service Penetrations in Buildings. It was a valuable reminder that in the fire safety industry, staying up to date isn’t optional — it’s essential.[...] A big thank you to Craig Wells and Quelfire for delivering such an informative session."

It can include compartmentation, service penetrations, fire testing and test evidence, product and system selection, installation principles and common challenges encountered during the design and construction process.
What is PFP training?
What is PFP training?
PFP stands for passive fire protection. PFP training helps develop an understanding of the built-in measures used to help restrict the spread of fire within a building.
This can include areas such as compartmentation, firestopping, service penetrations, fire-resisting construction and the importance of selecting and installing appropriate tested systems.
What is a firestopping CPD?

What is the difference between firestopping CPD and firestopping installation training?
What is the difference between firestopping CPD and firestopping installation training?
A firestopping CPD typically focuses on developing a broader understanding of passive fire protection, including the principles and considerations surrounding firestopping.
Installation training provides more detailed guidance on particular systems and how they should be selected and installed in accordance with the relevant tested solution and installation information.
Who should undertake firestopping training?

Firestopping training can benefit anyone whose role influences the design, specification, coordination, selection or installation of passive fire protection.
This can include architects, designers, main contractors, specialist firestopping contractors, installers and other construction professionals involved in delivering compliant firestopping.
Why is passive fire protection training important?
Why is passive fire protection training important?
Passive fire protection can involve decisions made throughout design, specification and installation, so having an appropriate level of knowledge at each stage is important.
PFP training can help construction professionals better understand firestopping principles, recognise key considerations and know when further technical information or support may be required.
Is firestopping training the same as fire safety training?
Is firestopping training the same as fire safety training?
Not necessarily. Fire safety training is a broad term that can include subjects such as fire awareness, evacuation procedures and fire warden training.
Firestopping training is specifically concerned with passive fire protection and the measures used to help maintain fire compartmentation within buildings. Quelfire’s training focuses on passive fire protection, firestopping and service penetrations rather than general workplace fire safety.
