The FIA TAP Scheme is an ID card app which can be used to verify competence with a TAP. 

End users can be assured that the technician's successful completion of relevant industry qualifications and training has been verified by the FIA, Europe's largest fire trade association.   

This verification of qualifications and training does not replace third party certification of companies, in fact, it enhances it, as it demonstrates the third-party certified company’s commitment to competence of the personnel they employ. 

With the combination of third-party certification of the company and the FIA TAP Scheme, end-users can be confident in the quality of the service provided. 

Currently running as a pilot program in conjunction with selected partners, we are developing the scheme based on the feedback received.
