The validation assessment has been developed by LABC to enable experienced building control surveyors to demonstrate their competence in relation to building regulation fire safety in the context of high risk and complex buildings (residential and commercial). This also includes Higher Risk Buildings (HRBs) included in the draft Building Safety Bill.
THE MEASURE OF COMPETENCY
Whilst many of you have years of experience as Building Control Surveyors there has never been a true demonstrable measure of the competency of a building control surveyor to work on complex and high risk buildings. Whilst many surveyors have qualifications and are members of professional bodies, post Grenfell this is no longer considered enough to validate an individual to work on the most complex of projects. In the near future all levels of building control surveyor will need to have their competence validated in this way in order to be Registered with the Building Safety Regulator
LABC has created an assessment to allow existing experienced surveyors to validate their fire safety competency in working on high risk and complex buildings. This assessment has been written to test four elements of competency in line with emerging industry guidance on competency assessment, namely:
- Knowledge – job specific knowledge required to perform the role / level effectively
- Skills / Experience - relevant and recent job specific capabilities or proficiencies developed (through the application of that knowledge) to perform the role / level effectively supported by peers and mentors.
- Abilities - innate capabilities required of a particular task or situation – personal skills, awareness of strengths and weaknesses and maintaining CPD
- Ethics & Professional Behaviour - moral principles and respectful and courteous business and personal conduct.
THE VALIDATION PROCESS
- STEP 1 – All candidates will be required to complete an application form. Please email certification@thebscf.org for a copy of the application form.
- STEP 2 – LABC will review all applications and contact candidate line managers to obtain their endorsement of the application form.
- STEP 3 – LABC will confirm approval of the application via email with a link to book onto your chosen exam location. LABC members will pay a subsidised rate of £50+VAT, the remainder being covered by 2020/21 membership fees.
- STEP 4 – Candidates sit the exam. All examination centres will adhere fully to COVID-19 guidelines ensuring social distancing and all necessary precautions are in place. The examination is in 2 parts. The first is closed book and lasts for 1 hour. There is then a short break after which there will be a 2 hour open book examination. Due to COVID restrictions, there will be no refreshments provided,
- STEP 5 - Results will be published 8 weeks after the exam date. Results provided will be PASS/REFERRED.
All successful candidates will receive a certificate and an ID card showing that they have passed the validation assessment. Bi-annual renewal of ID cards will be subject to candidates submitting sufficient evidence of ongoing project work in relation to building regulations fire safety on higher risk buildings.
The Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE) has worked with LABC to create this assessment process and has confirmed that by passing the assessment individuals will be able to gain access to membership of the IFE (MIFireE) subject to an appropriate professional portfolio.

* IMPORTANT NOTICE *
Please be aware of the following steps prior to booking onto the course:
Step 1 - Complete the following application form - CIOB Application Form - Level 5 Diploma in Public Service Building Control
Step 2 - The tutor will review and a coordinator will confirm course suitability
Step 3 - Book onto the course
The Level 5 Diploma in Public Service Building Control Surveying is designed for building control officers working in the construction sector who are dealing with new housing, low and high-rise apartments and commercial and industrial projects. This qualification develops the learner’s knowledge and skills to evaluate applications for compliance, liaise with stakeholders and carry out inspections to construction projects safely and efficiently.
All learning, lectures and assignments will take place via distance learning on the LABC Virtual Learning Environment.
- Tutor Led Learning: Online interactive lectures with facilitated activities. We recommend that you attend all lectures but understand that this isn't always possible. All lectures will be recorded and made available to those students who are not able to attend. So if you miss them you can always catch up later at a more convenient time / day.
- Self-directed study: Required on top of the Thursday lectures which should involve (e-learning, researching, studying, working on assignments and on-site experience with mentor/manager).
- Exams: One compulsory week of exams.
- Support: As this is an intensive vocational course students must be allocated a mentor and at least 20% of their working time for "off the job learning". This equates to one day a week for lectures, self-directed study and time to go on-site to put theory into practice.
