This suite of units from the public safety package, combines flexible online theory with practical workplace learning. Access engaging course materials from any desktop or mobile device, study at your own pace, and receive ongoing support from our qualified assessors throughout your training. Practical skills and assessment activities are completed in the workplace, ensuring students can immediately apply their learning in a real-world environment.

Units of Competency

For a student to be awarded their QLD Fire Safety Advisor qualification, they must successfully complete all 8 units of competency below.

Firefox Training conducts a Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) assessment during the enrolment process for Direct Learning students to ensure students have the skills required to successfully undertake the qualification. As a guide, students should demonstrate skills equivalent to Level 3 of the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF).

Recognition of Prior Learning & Credit Transfers

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment-only process that recognises the skills and knowledge you have already gained through previous training, workplace experience or life experience. To be awarded competency through RPL, you must provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate that you meet the requirements of the relevant unit(s) of competency.

Our RPL process is designed to recognise existing industry expertise—not to retrain experienced professionals. By focusing on evidence of competency, we provide an efficient pathway for eligible candidates to obtain nationally recognised outcomes while continuing to work in the industry.

If you have previously completed a unit of competency through another Registered Training Organisation (RTO), you may be eligible for a Credit Transfer (CT). To apply, you will need to provide a certified copy of your Statement of Attainment or Qualification during the enrolment process. Where a Credit Transfer is granted, you will not be required to complete that unit again.

If you have any questions about the RPL process, your eligibility, or the evidence required to support your application, submit an Enquiry form on here or give us a call on 1300 119 141.
