National Safety Academy Reviews 

I have recently achieved a Diploma in Fire Risk Assessment through the National Safety Academy. This major online course took over a year to complete, via an easy to use portal, aided by tutors available as needed, two hefty but informative textbooks, and three not so easy assessments. All backed up by an effective and efficient office and support team. Due to personal issues part way through, I asked the team for support, and gained a substantial extension, which was needed and gratefully appreciated. I will say now, this is one of the best courses I have ever completed. I cannot fault the NSA and thank them for their support. Most definitely highly recommended.

Highly recommended. The course was very intuitive, in depth, and i have the confidence to put it into practice.

I have enjoyed reviewing and undertaking the free online courses so far, with a view to enrolling on the fire risk assessment course at some point.

Clear information, good presentation and relevant.

Concise, informative and with sufficient detail to get the points across using a language that is simple to understand and does not require huge technical expertise.

Finished the diploma, great course.

The course was very clear, and broken down into useful and helpful segments which made the information very easy to digest.

Great fire safety training

Simple to follow, easy to read - the Level 6 Diploma in Fire Risk Assessment from NSA is definitely for me.

Straight forward and informative

I am delighted to say that I have successfully completed this course. It is an essential programme for fire safety professionals, as well as for anyone aspiring to enter the field and broaden their understanding of fire safety principles, applications, and methodologies.

This was by no means an easy course. It was highly demanding and clearly designed to challenge participants at an advanced level. However, that is precisely what made it so valuable. The structure of the course provided accurate, in-depth knowledge and a solid foundation for carrying out fire safety inspections and risk assessments with far greater precision and confidence.

As a firefighter, I found the learning particularly beneficial. It enhanced my understanding of the many critical factors that must be considered before approaching hazards and operational risks. It also offered a systematic framework for identifying risks and implementing effective control measures to reduce them to an acceptable level.

What I appreciated most was the intellectual depth of the programme. It reinforced an important truth: the more one learns, the more one recognises how much remains to be understood. That humility is central to true professional development.

I would like to sincerely thank the National Safety Academy for delivering such an outstanding and rigorous body of material. Completing this course successfully is an achievement I am proud of, and one that will undoubtedly strengthen my professional practice moving forward.

The presentation was clear and concise to cover the main changes and different approach this updated version of the Standard takes.

As always excellent quality training products.

The format was clear and easy to navigate. The course was informative and enlightening.

application

Great course, well presented and informative.

I have completed the Fire Risk Assessment course this week and must say, this is by far the best course I have ever taken.
The content is incredibly in-depth, and the course layout is simply fantastic. For someone who struggles to maintain concentration for long periods of time, this course allowed me to become lost in it for hours.
I had previously completed a level 3 in Fire Risk Assessment and can confirm my knowledge has increased exponentially after completion.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone with an interest in fire safety. Very proud to hold this qualification.

The contents were clear and easy to understand. Impactful

This was a concise but very insightful look at the fundamental changes to BS8214:2026.
It was formed to a very high standard and focused on several key factors.
Thoroughly recommended.
