Advanced has expanded its Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme with the launch of a new course focused on smoke control systems and their role in protecting life and property. Titled ‘Smoke Control Systems: Principles, Pitfalls and Protection’, the free CPD has been developed to provide consultants, specifi ers, fi re engineers, installers, facilities managers and other fi re safety professionals with a practical understanding of smoke control strategies, system types and compliance requirements.
The module explores the principles of smoke movement and the importance of smoke control in supporting safe evacuation, fi refi ghting access and property protection. Attendees will gain insight into natural and mechanical smoke ventilation systems, smoke exhaust and pressurisation methods, as well as the key components used within smoke control systems.
The CPD also examines the standards and regulations that govern smoke control design and maintenance, including Approved Document B, BS EN 12101, BS 7346-8, BS 9991 and BS 9999. Alongside this, the course highlights common design, installation and maintenance pitfalls, helping attendees better understand best practice approaches and long- term compliance responsibilities. Delivered online by Shaun Scott, Applications Engineer at Advanced, the CPD forms part of the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting industry education and improving fi re safety knowledge across the sector. Shaun said: “Smoke control systems play a critical role in modern fi re safety strategies, particularly in complex and high-rise buildings where maintaining clear escape routes is essential. This CPD has been designed to provide practical, real-world guidance on the principles behind smoke control systems, the challenges involved in their design and maintenance, and the standards that govern them.” “By helping industry professionals strengthen their understanding of
smoke control, we can support them in designing better systems and delivering improved compliance, ultimately creating safer buildings.” All Advanced CPDs are certifi ed by the CPD Certifi cation Service, with attendees receiving a certifi cate of attendance upon successful completion.
The new smoke control CPD joins Advanced’s growing portfolio of educational modules, including ‘Introduction to Fire Detection & Alarm Systems’, ‘Managing False Fire Alarms: Tools & Techniques’, and ‘A Guide to Meeting BS 8629’.
