Welcome to the PCCE Training website
We are coming into the traditional summer and holiday season and so there will be no training over the month of August.
We resume in September and a new Courses Schedule is attached, While there is availability on all courses, some are quite heavily booked even at this stage.
Our ‘User Responsibilities for Fire Safety’ courses have been really successful and have earned references from one of the major Facilities Management companies and one County Council. The feedback is that these courses will help Users to understand their responsibilities and as a result, appreciate the services that are provided from trained and competent Services providers.
I have streamlined these courses into two, 1-day, CPD offerings:
B2A: User Responsibilities for Fire Safety in Residential Care Facilities:
Nursing Homes; HIQA facilities, etc.
B2C: User Responsibilities for Fire Safety in Buildings:
All other residential and non-residential facilities
I hope this will be of interest to you all. If you wish to recommend these courses to your clients, you
can offer them a 10% discount by providing your company as a reference. This offer will remain in
place until August 31st.
I believe it is in all of our interests to have Users more educated on the roles and actions of competent
Services Providers. Please feel free to call me to discuss.
All of my other normal courses will also be recommended in September.
PCCE office will only be partially staffed throughout August. but I will respond to emails – perhaps not as promptly as usual.
I hope those of you who will be taking holidays, enjoy them and I look forward to meeting many of you
again in September.

Paul Condron

In response to a number of queries I have received on this subject, my opinion is as follows: The current standard I.S.3218:2024 is quite specific.
Expert training solutions tailored to ensure compliance and excellence. Our courses provide the knowledge and skills needed to ensure adherence to Statutory dictates and Standards Guidelines.
Join us to master fire safety best practices through expert courses in Fire Detection and Alarm Systems, covering planning, design, installation, commissioning, servicing and maintenance in line with IS 3218 (2024). We also offer training in Emergency Lighting Testing and Servicing to ensure compliance with IS 3217 (2023).
Emergency lighting ensures safe evacuation during power failures and emergencies. This course covers system design, installation, inspection, and testing per I.S. 3217. Ideal for facility managers, engineers, and fire safety professionals, it equips participants with best practices to meet regulations and enhance safety.
Participants will learn to identify fire hazards, implement controls, and develop safety plans compliant with Irish regulations. Ideal for business owners, safety officers, and facility managers, this course enhances fire safety awareness and preparedness.
Our Construction Legislation Training equips professionals with the knowledge and skills to navigate the laws, regulations and standards governing the construction industry, helping ensure compliance, enhance safety and minimise legal risks.
Welcome to the new PCCE Training Website
Hopefully, this will allow me to better interact with everyone and update a lot more frequently than previously.
I have added a new section where I intend to post comments, opinions and answer queries. I won’t guarantee to respond to every query – but I will try. So many have questions and are concerned about asking them. They shouldn’t be and maybe this will be a forum to anonymously ask questions. In my opinion, hopefully, many will benefit from this.
The dreadful I.S.3218:2024 standard is still one of the main areas for my training, and my 3-day FDAS design course is now extremely popular. The June course is booking nicely.
The HSE emphasis on Health and Safety training has required me to add several Designing for Safety in construction courses over the coming months.
I am also rolling out my User Responsibilities for Fire Safety courses. The first of these is in respect of Residential Care Facilities (Primarily Nursing homes) and one aimed at other residential facilities (Apartments/Hotels/Hostels, etc.) will follow.
Please let me know what you think of the site, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Certified courses designed to enhance your knowledge and ensure compliance.
Hear from organisations and professionals who’ve benefited from our training services.
Fire safety compliance is not just a legal obligation but a critical component of protecting lives and property. Every building must adhere to fire safety regulations, ensuring proper fire detection systems, emergency lighting, and maintenance protocols.
Failure to comply can result in severe consequences, including fines, prosecution, or even loss of life. PCCE offers expert consultancy and training to help businesses navigate these requirements and avoid costly mistakes, ensuring peace of mind and legal adherence.
Non-compliance with fire safety and electrical legislation can lead to costly legal battles, reputational damage, and operational disruptions. Many businesses are unaware of the specific requirements until it’s too late.
PCCE’s tailored consultancy services identify and address gaps in compliance, helping you proactively safeguard your operations and investments.
A culture of safety goes beyond meeting legal requirements—it creates a secure and productive environment for employees and clients.
PCCE’s training courses equip your team with the skills and knowledge to maintain high safety standards, fostering trust and confidence in your organisation’s commitment to safety.
