IFE Exam in Fire Safety

[Pete M]

Well, sat the exams over the last two days - hope I never have to do that again.

Did anyone else notice an anomoly between the Membership paper 2 - 'fire safety' and the contents of the syllabus as available on the IFE site?

I have just sat the membership fire safety (paper 2) today at Ipswich fire station, question 1 was a corker, asking about fire safety measures re; hurricanes, cylcones and tornado's.

Guess what?I did not do question 1!!!!

Apart from that is was pretty much what I expected.

I must have read the wrong syllabus then - the one I have is predominantly concerned with fire detection, alarms, systems, extinguishing systems, means of escape etc..

The exam appeared to concentrate on building and construction safety.

Hi Guys just enjoy the exams, never mind the syllabus, fairly soon you might be saying I took the IFe exams once when they existed!!  Good luck anyway to all who took them at whatever level, I still think they represent good value and fire engineering currency throughout the world and long may they do that in whatever form they evolve to

PS hey Colin I remember the guy who said that about evening dress - he vowed he never would attend the IFE AGM again either!! polarisation is the word!!

Bob, If he had only told ME he would never go again, I would have gone subsequently!!!!

Well, got the results back and 3 out of 4 is better than I expected - fluffed the Human Resource Management - Ah well, next year perhaps.

Bad luck but look at it this way many people think that HR stands for hand relief on account of the type of people who often follow HR as a profession.
