The Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE) is delighted to announce the extension of its Elevate webinar series, an innovative professional development programme designed to provide early career fire professionals with a structured learning pathway.
Due to overwhelming success, Elevate will continue throughout 2026 delivering webinars on radiation theory, a comprehensive look at British Standards and their impact on the fire sector, and ethics in the industry.
What is Elevate?
Delivered by the IFE Early Careers Networking Group, this initiative has grown into a highly valued resource. Taking place fortnightly, the series delivers expert-led sessions, interactive discussions, and actionable takeaways designed to support an individual’s career development providing them with valuable Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
This year we have a new quarterly booking system designed to help delegates keep up to date with the latest webinar. This will allow you to pre-book all the sessions within a three-month period ensuring you don’t miss any upcoming webinars.
What sessions can we expect this year?
The sessions will cover a variety of fire engineering topics to help elevate understanding and develop knowledge. Subjects will include suppression systems, fire safety in schools, BS 9999 and enclosure fire dynamics. We will also be diving into new topics that have emerged over recent years such as sustainable building practices and ongoing debates about what is truly ethical.
We have been delighted with the success of the Elevate series this year, and we look forward to building on this throughout 2026.
With the support of our industry speakers, we have developed a comprehensive programme to ensure attendees can hear from experts on a range of topics affecting fire safety. Through our sessions we provide our audience with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to navigate the complexities of fire safety and explore the many career pathways within the field.
