    “In 2019, while working as the HSE Manager for a critical industry plant, I received a call at 6 AM about a major fire. The situation could have been controlled easily if the fire pump had worked properly—but it didn’t.

    After the fire, I started investigating and realized I didn’t have enough knowledge to even identify the problem. Like many professionals, I relied on the contractor, assuming they knew more and were doing their job—but they weren’t.

    During my search for answers, I found an article that explained the exact issue I faced with the pump. The author was a Certified Fire Protection Specialist (CFPS), and that’s when I first learned about the certification. I decided to study for it, apply what I learned in my work, and share this knowledge with others.

    Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of professionals earn their CFPS certification. Now, it’s your turn!” 🚀

    A Remarkable CFPS Learning Experience

    The CFPS course from Infinite HSE was genuinely one of the strongest and most impactful learning experiences I’ve had in my entire career. It goes far beyond delivering information — it makes you fully understand the logic behind every concept before even considering any memorization.

    Engineer Amr Abu Samra’s commitment is exceptional; the material is always updated with the latest changes, explained with unmatched clarity, and supported with tremendous effort that truly stands out.

    Before the exam, I was extremely anxious, but the moment I started solving, everything aligned perfectly. The structured mapping, the logical breakdown of each concept, and the accuracy of the Question Bank made it easy to connect ideas and select the correct answers with confidence.

    This course didn’t just prepare me for the exam — it transformed the entire journey into something clear, organized, and much less stressful.

    I genuinely and confidently recommend this course to anyone aiming to pass the CFPS from the first time. It’s absolutely worth it, and it truly makes a difference.

    FAQ

    Your Questions Answered!
    Course-related questions
    What's the pass rate of your courses?New

    We are committed to full transparency. You can view the updated pass-rate dashboard here.

    Can I get a refund if I’m not satisfied with the course?

    Yes, we offer a 7-day refund policy. If you’re not satisfied, contact us within seven days of purchase for a full refund.

    Is the course fee inclusive of the exam and book fees?

    No, the course fee does not include the cost of the Fire Protection Handbook or the exam fees.

    • The Fire Protection Handbook (21st edition) costs $749 (excluding shipping fees).
    • The exam fee is $499.

    Together, these costs exceed the course fee. Participants are responsible for purchasing the handbook and paying the exam fee separately.

    When will the course start?

    The course is pre-recorded, so you can start anytime at your convenience. If you need any assistance, simply contact the trainer through our booking system. We’re here to support you every step of the way!

    Do I need prior fire protection experience to take this course?

    You need at least two years of experience in something related to fire protection field to take the CFPS exam, however, our course is designed to guide both those with a few years of experience and experienced professionals through the certification process, offering clear technical explanations along the way.

    Is there a question bank for practice?

    Yes, the course includes a question bank with more than 800 questions fully aligned with the 21st edition of the book, simulating the exam in terms of difficulty level and timing.

    The training starts with 30 questions in one hour and gradually increases to 100 questions in three hours, replicating the actual exam conditions to help you develop technical skills and manage time effectively.

    The program also includes two full exams translated into both Arabic and English, designed for those who choose to take the exam in Arabic—an exclusive feature not available anywhere else.

    What percentage of the exam questions are repeated from your question bank?

    We do not focus on question repetition because the course is not based on memorizing a set of questions while neglecting comprehension. Instead, it emphasizes technical explanations and intensive training on using the book during the exam. The key is to develop the ability to extract answers from the book and handle any question, regardless of whether it has appeared before.

    What’s the duration of the course?

    At Infinite HSE, we don’t focus on the length of our courses because it’s not an accurate measure of their quality.

    What truly matters is that the course content is well-organized, concise, and free of unnecessary fillers added solely to extend the duration.

    All our courses are divided into sections, with lessons under each section and topics under some lessons. This structure ensures ease of learning and quick reference whenever needed.

    Our videos are recorded in high-quality FHD with clear audio and are professionally edited to remove any excess content and add supplementary explanations when necessary.

    This approach guarantees that all content is of high educational value, unlike courses that are recorded as unstructured live lectures filled with breaks, side discussions, interruptions, and wasted time on unnecessary instructions, like asking participants to mute their microphones.

    Therefore, we don’t measure course value by duration. A course could be 100 hours long if that’s what you prefer, but the real challenge and effort lie in creating engaging, high-quality content that respects the learners’ time and maintains their focus.

    Can I contact the instructor for additional support?

    Absolutely! We’re here to help. You can book a one-on-one session with the trainer through our integrated Google Calendar booking system, available directly inside the course. Reach out anytime for assistance or clarification on any topic.

    How long will I have access to the course materials?

    You will have access for nine (9) months.

    What if my access ends before I’ve applied for the exam?

    The extension option will become available within the course once your current access period expires. You can always view your remaining access days inside the course, allowing you to plan ahead and avoid interruptions to your learning.

    The extension fee is 250 AED/SAR (approximately 66 USD) for an additional 3 months of access. Lower-cost extension options for 1 month and 2 months are also available, providing flexibility based on your needs.

    Why do I need to pay to extend access to the course materials?

    This is a reasonable question, and we completely understand why you might ask it.

    All services on our platform involve ongoing operating costs that are directly linked to learner usage. These include video hosting and streaming, data storage, technical support, and the interactive learning tools integrated into the platform. In addition, our question bank includes AI-powered study tools that help learners understand explanations and review content more effectively, and these services incur costs based on actual usage.

    For this reason, extension fees are not intended as an additional profit source. Rather, they help cover part of the costs associated with continuing to provide these services after the original access period has ended.

    More importantly, the primary purpose of our certification preparation courses is to help you schedule and pass your exam within the allocated access period. We do not view extensions as a goal, and we certainly do not want learners to rely on them. In fact, having a defined access period encourages commitment to a study plan, helps prevent unnecessary delays, and motivates learners to stay on track toward their certification goals.

    To support this, we provide advance expiration reminders, a one-time course hold option in certain situations, and free extensions for learners who have already scheduled their exam and need access to the course materials until their exam date.

    Can I hold my course access if I am busy or on leave?New

    Yes. If you have remaining days in your course and need to pause your studies (for example, due to work or personal leave), you can hold your access to the course for one free time for maximum of 60 days. This will stop the countdown of your remaining days, and when you are ready to continue, you can unfreeze your access and resume with the same balance of days.

    To help you plan, you will also receive automatic email reminders when your access is approaching expiration (at 180, 90 days remaining). This gives you enough time to either continue your study or hold your access.

    Exam-related questions
    What is the passing score for the CFPS exam?

    The passing score for the CFPS exam is 70%, meaning you must answer at least 70 out of 100 questions correctly to pass. The overall score determines the result; there is no minimum required score for individual domains.

    Where is the CFPS exam held?Updated

    The exam is conducted at Prometric testing centers worldwide, you can locate the nearest testing center by following these steps:

    1. Visit this link.
    2. Select Locate.

    3. Choose the Fire Protection Specialist exam, then click Next.

    4. Enter the city where you are located, make sure it appears in the list of options, and then select it under Address.

    5. Set the start and end dates (Note: you can select a search period of up to two weeks from the start date).

    What is the cost of the CFPS exam?

    The CFPS exam costs $499. You can register and pay for the exam through NFPA website using this application portal.

    What languages is the CFPS exam available in?Updated

    Yes, the CFPS exam is available in three languages: English, Arabic, and Spanish.

    If I choose Arabic as the exam language, will the questions appear in Arabic only, or in both Arabic and English?Updated

    Based on our learners’ experience, those who chose Arabic as the exam language still received the questions in both Arabic and English. This makes Arabic a useful supporting option, as you can understand the questions more easily without losing the exact English keywords needed to search the Fire Protection Handbook and its index.

    In other words, selecting Arabic provides the benefit of clearer comprehension while still allowing you to locate information quickly and accurately in the English reference.

    Can I take the exam from home?Updated

    It was possible until June 13th, 2025, when the Testing Center announced that remote proctoring would no longer be available for NFPA exams starting from that date.

    FPH-related questions
    Will you provide a scanned copy of the Fire Protection Handbook?

    No, sharing the handbook in this way is illegal. Instead, we provide our own comprehensive handout designed for note-taking and focused study—something unique to our course and not offered elsewhere.

    Can I enter the exam with the 20th edition of the Fire Protection Handbook?

    No, you must comply with the exam requirements and bring the 21st edition. Only the latest edition is allowed during the exam.

    Can I study from the 20th edition?

    It’s not recommended. While the structure may be similar, the current exam is aligned specifically with the 21st edition, ensuring the content matches the latest updates and requirements.

    Where can I buy the Fire Protection Handbook?

    You can order it from the NFPA official website or through NAFFCO UAE. To purchase from NAFFCO, email them at [email protected] to request a quotation.

    Will exam center check the invoice to verify the book is mine?

    No, the exam does not require proof of purchase. You can borrow or rent the book if needed.

    Can I photocopy the book and use it in the exam?

    No, only the original hardcopy of the 21st edition is allowed in the exam room. Photocopies or digital copies are not permitted.

    Do you offer a book rental option for use during the exam?New

    Yes, the book rental option is available exclusively for participants enrolled in our course, and not as a separate service.

    The service is available in Saudi Arabia and Egypt for a maximum duration of one month.

    If you wish to rent the book, you’ll find a calendar within the course showing the availability dates, so you can plan your schedule and book your exam accordingly.

    Please contact us before confirming your exam booking to ensure the book is available during your desired period.

    The rental fee is:

    • 499 SAR (within Saudi Arabia)

    • 349 AED (within Egypt)
