Fire Risk Assessor Mentoring

Over the years, we’ve successfully mentored several aspiring fire risk assessors, helping them move from classroom theory into confident, real-world practice. We know that the pathway into the fire safety industry isn’t always straightforward especially for those starting out as independent assessors without the backing of a larger company. That’s why we’ve developed a clear, supportive mentoring programme designed to make entry into the industry as smooth and accessible as possible.



At Firefly Fire Protection, we believe in more than just protecting buildings, we believe in protecting people and creating safer communities. Our mission has always been built on honesty, care, professionalism, and integrity, and those values extend to how we support the next generation of fire safety professionals.

Why Mentoring Matters

Many new assessors complete their Level 3 Fire Risk Assessment course but struggle to gain real-world experience. At Firefly Fire Protection, we believe in giving back to the industry by offering mentoring that bridges the gap between theory and practice.

Our mission is to protect lives and property—and that starts with helping new assessors develop confidence, skills, and professional integrity.
