Programme Highlights
The HKIE Fire Division CPD Training Course 2025 consists of six lectures covering the six domains of fire engineering with case studies. It is suitable for all field practitioners ranging from graduate engineers to experienced engineers including veterans who are interested in joining the Fire Discipline of the HKIE. It covers a wide range of knowledge from building design, and statutory submission to facility management. We are honored to have eminent academics, experienced professionals, senior consultants, and government officials who possess substantial practical experience and rich knowledge to introduce concepts of fire science, human psychology and physiology, active fire protection systems analysis, passive fire protection systems analysis, law, regulations and standards, and fire risk management.
The course is specially tailored for a full spectrum of fire engineering-related professionals such as consultants, surveyors, architects, project managers, facility managers and engineers of other disciplines, who interact frequently with fire engineers or have been practicing fire engineering works and would like to better equip themselves by taking a closer look at the doctrines of Fire Engineers or the latest fire engineering knowledge through case studies.
