Updating your Passive Fire licence with CPPFES2039
How to Update Your Passive Fire Licence (with CPPFES2039)
Who Needs to Do This
You’ll need to update or upskill if you:
- Work in passive fire protection (fire collars, sealants, fire doors, walls, or penetrations).
- Hold a QBCC Passive Fire licence that was issued before the new reforms.
- Are applying for a new licence under the passive fire stream.
- Need to meet the upskilling requirements before May 2030.
Basically, if your work involves installing, inspecting, maintaining, or certifying passive fire systems, you’ll need the unit CPPFES2039 – Identify, inspect and test passive fire and smoke containment products and systems.
Why It Matters
The QBCC has reformed fire protection licensing.
To keep your licence current or apply for a new one, you must have the correct qualifications — and CPPFES2039 is a key competency for passive fire licence holders.
This unit proves you can correctly identify, inspect, and test passive fire systems to Australian Standards.
Step-by-Step: How to Update Your Licence
Step 1: Check Your Licence Class
Confirm which passive fire class you hold — for example, “Passive Fire – Inspect & Test” or “Passive Fire – Certify.”
Step 2: Review Your Qualifications
Look at your certificates and units.
If you don’t already hold CPPFES2039 (or equivalent), you’ll need to complete it.
Step 3: Enrol in CPPFES2039
Find a registered training organisation (RTO) that delivers this unit — such as StaySafe Industry Training.
The course can often be completed online or blended with workplace experience.
Step 4: Get Your Statement of Attainment
Once you complete the unit, you’ll receive a Statement of Attainment showing you’ve met the competency requirement.
Step 5: Submit to QBCC
When renewing or updating your licence, upload your new qualification evidence through the QBCC portal.
If you’re already licensed, this will complete your upskilling requirement.
Tips
- Deadline: All passive fire licence holders must upskill by 1 May 2030.
- Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL): If you’ve already been doing this work, you may be eligible for RPL instead of full training.
- Stay current: Keep copies of your certificates and monitor future QBCC updates.
