At CFP Carpentry & Fire Prevention, professional development is central to delivering best-in-class fire safety services. We are proud to announce that our team has successfully completed the BM TRADA Fire Doors Explained course – a CPD-certified seminar and live fire test demonstration event that reinforces our technical expertise in fire door compliance.

About the Course: An Industry-Leading Fire Door Seminar

BM TRADA’s Fire Doors Explained training is one of the most comprehensive fire door education programs available in the UK. Designed for professionals who install, manage, or inspect fire doors, the course combines classroom learning, video content, and live fire demonstrations to provide a detailed understanding of how fire doors are designed, tested, and certified.

Through participation in this course, our team has strengthened its understanding of:

• How fire doors are tested, assessed, and certified in accordance with British and European fire resistance standards.
• Correct installation methods – identifying common errors and learning best practice for fitting doors to achieve full fire resistance.
• The anatomy of fire-resistant doorsets – understanding how components like intumescent strips, hinges, closers, and glazing systems work together.
• Key factors that determine success or failure in achieving the required fire-resisting performance.
• Third-party certification – how independent verification supports compliance and builds trust with clients, authorities, and insurers.
• Ongoing maintenance and inspection protocols – identifying early signs of door degradation or misuse that could undermine safety.

This highly respected program is endorsed by the Construction CPD Certification Service and is targeted at professionals across the fire safety and construction industry, including:

• Fire officers
• Fire door manufacturers and suppliers
• Building control officers and approved inspectors
• Facilities managers and property managers
• Construction companies and installers
• Architects, specifiers, and technical sales staff

• Deliver code-compliant fire door installations in HMOs, commercial buildings, and multi-residential dwellings.
