In 2017 the New Zealand Fire Brigades’ Institute entered a Memorandum of Understanding with the NZ branch of IFE. This agreement shares accreditation between both organisations (NZFBI and IFE) for the qualifications you achieve. This agreement offers an arrangement where candidates wishing to sit examinations and earn the NZFBI Diplomas can do so within the IFE examination system while gaining an internationally accredited qualification within the fire industry. You can read more about how the partnership works and the diplomas that are available here [PDF, 62 KB].(external link) To enrol to receive an NZFBI Diploma, please visit the qualifications page of the NZFBI website here(external link).
