The FDIS takes the welfare of our customers very seriously and we are following the Government guidance on the Coronavirus and have some important updates for you.
Unfortunately, following the announcement from the Prime Minister yesterday evening, Pearson VUE will be closing their test centres during this national lockdown. You will receive a cancellation email from Pearson VUE. This is an automated email so can sometimes be filtered into your junk email, so it is a good idea to keep an eye out in your junk emails, as well as your normal ones.
You will have the opportunity to reschedule your exam once the national lockdown is lifted.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you, but the FDIS and Pearson VUE have to adhere to the Government guidelines.
The onsite assessments for trainee inspectors are still running, please contact the office for further information.
In addition to the above updates, the FDIS office will be closed for the duration of the national lockdown. We will be responding to emails and phone calls as normal.
Should you have any queries, please contact us, using our ‘contact us’ page and we will be happy to help.

The Fire Door Inspection Scheme (FDIS) was launched as a joint venture by the British Woodworking Federation (BWF) and the Guild of Architectural Ironmongers (GAI) in 2012. We aim to transform people’s knowledge about how and why fire doors work and the potential dangers of getting it wrong.
Search our directory and find an FDIS certificated fire door inspector in your area.
The FDIS online education programme is available to anyone who wishes to gain a greater knowledge of fire doors
If you’ve completed the Diploma in Fire Doors and passed the final examination, you’re ready to apply to become an FDIS Certificated Fire Door Inspector.
At Places for People we take fire safety extremely seriously and to empower our staff with as much knowledge as possible can only ensure the highest safety standards for our customers. The FDIS Diploma course was easy to fit in around a hectic work schedule with in depth modules to dip in and out when study time is available.
The online course also provides students with the opportunity to study anywhere at any time. The role of passive fire safety is often overlooked and a more heavy reliance is placed upon automatic fire detection. For a social landlord, the reliability of passive protection and robust, solid, well maintained fire doors is paramount to an effective fire safety inspection regime. We now have a selection of competent Building Surveyors with accredited learning to a defined industry standard who have achieved recognised diplomas.
