Overview
Fire safety is essential to safeguarding lives, assets, and infrastructure while ensuring modern buildings remain resilient and compliant with evolving safety regulations.
The Graduate Certificate in Fire Dynamics and Fire Modelling (GCert FDM) is designed to equip learners with the knowledge and skills needed to perform or support fire safety engineering in compliance with the Code of Practice for Fire Precautions in Buildings 2023, commonly referred to as the Fire Code 2023.
The modules cover key topics such as fire science, fire engineering principles and the use of software modelling tools. Through a performance-based approach, learners will gain the expertise to validate deviations from the the prescriptive clauses of the Fire Code often encountered in building designs. These modules are ideal for those seeking a deeper understanding of fire dynamics and their impact on buildings.
The modules can be taken individually or stack towards a Graduate Certificate in Fire Dynamics and Fire Modelling.
Programme Partner
This programme is a collaboration with Singapore Civil Defence Force.
Modules Available
Modules are stackable towards a GCert FDM. They can also be taken individually.
Candidates will be awarded a GCert FDM upon successful completion and passing of all 3 modules totalling 18 credits.
List of Modules
| Code | Module | credit |
|---|---|---|
| FDM6100 | Fire Engineering Science | 6 |
| FDM6200 | Fire Dynamics | 6 |

The above modules are subsidised by SkillsFuture Singapore.
Certificate and Assessment
A Certificate of Attainment will be issued to participants who
- Attend at least 75% of the module; and
- Undertake and pass non-credit bearing assessment during the module; and
Participants who meet the attendance requirement but do not pass the assessment will receive a Certificate of Participation.
Participants who successfully obtain all 3 Certificate of Attainment in the Fire Dynamics and Fire Modelling series will receive a Graduate Certificate in Fire Dynamics and Fire Modelling.
