Material Performance & NCC Compliance: Protecting Buildings and Saving Lives
Whether you are an aspiring engineer, architect, construction professional or simply wanting to better understand fire performance requirements, this course provides essential knowledge on the fire resistance and fire hazard properties of building materials in line with the National Construction Code (NCC).
You will learn how fire resistance levels (FRLs) are determined, what fire hazard properties mean in practical terms, and how different materials behave under fire conditions. This foundational knowledge supports better decision-making during design, specification, and certification, and helps ensure that buildings are safe, compliant, and fit for purpose.
