Elevate reaches its first anniversary
The Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE) is marking the first anniversary of its Elevate webinar series, which launched in April 2025 and has recorded more than 6,000 ticket bookings.
Hosted online by the IFE Early Careers Networking Group (ECNG), the free educational series features guest speakers from across the fire sector and runs in 60-minute sessions.
The IFE said the programme was introduced to support future fire safety professionals through fundamental continuing professional development on a range of topics.
Steve Hamm, CEO of the IFE, said: “It has been a real pleasure to see just how popular our webinar series has become.
“CPD is a crucial aspect of retaining and acquiring knowledge in fire engineering.
“Fire engineering is not a static vocation; it is a discipline that demands continuous learning, innovation and adaptability.
“This series is designed to empower and support the next generation of fire engineering talent, guiding you through the technical knowledge and practical applications that underpin effective fire safety.”
Next Elevate sessions open for booking
Dean Morris, chair of the IFE’s Early Careers Networking Group, added: “Fire safety is not a one-size-fits-all; it requires a complex skill set paired with constant growth, and this was the catalyst for the Elevate series.
“I am very proud of what we have achieved so far with the webinar series.
“It aims to bridge the skills gap within the fire sector and promote a culture of CPD.”
Tickets for the next quarter of sessions cover ethics in the industry, fire safety in schools and atrium design.
Bookings for the 2026 second quarter sessions from April to June are open, and the IFE said organisations can use the programme as part of their ongoing training.
