The NVQ Level 2 in Passive Fire Protection (Fire Stopping) is a nationally recognised qualification for operatives responsible for installing fire-resistant systems. It confirms competence in applying fire-stopping materials such as sealants, boards, collars, and barriers to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through walls, floors, and service openings. The assessment is carried out entirely on-site through observation, evidence gathering, and discussion — no classroom training or exams required. Learners must demonstrate knowledge of fire regulations, correct installation methods, and health and safety practices. This qualification is ideal for experienced workers who want to gain the Blue CSCS Skilled Worker Card and work legally on UK construction sites. Upon successful completion, candidates receive a recognised NVQ certificate in Passive Fire Protection.
