The ProQual Level 3 Award in the Inspection and Testing of Fire-Rated Ductwork and Damper Installations is a nationally recognised, industry-specific qualification designed to develop and demonstrate competence in the inspection and testing of fire-rated ductwork and damper systems. It is particularly relevant to the fire safety and passive fire protection sector, where effective inspection and testing are essential for ensuring installations meet current fire regulations and required safety standards.

This Level 3 qualification is accredited onto the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) and regulated by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual).

The qualification covers regulations and standards relating to fire-rated ductwork and dampers, inspection and testing procedures, pass/fail criteria, regulatory compliance, and accurate inspection reporting. The learner also develops the practical competence required to inspect and test installations effectively and provide appropriate advice when an inspection identifies a failure.

Assessment is assignment-based only, enabling the learner to demonstrate the required knowledge, understanding, and competence through structured evidence without traditional examinations.
