Examination Reading List: September 2013

Candidates should be aware that this reading list is advisory rather than definitive and they will need to consider the items it contains selectively. The Institution does not recommend that candidates should buy every resource listed for each exam they take. In addition, it should not be inferred that other resources are unsuitable because they are omitted from the reading list. Candidates are advised to use the opportunity to read widely in order to extend their knowledge and understanding. Those books with a yellow background can be supplied directly by the IFE. To order direct, please follow this hyperlink:http://www.ife.org.uk/shop/category_view . (Please select the appropriate publisher from the menu on the left of the page.) Please also note that if you require books that are being featured in the IFE book sale they cannot be bought through the online bookstore but will need to be ordered directly from Jo Fearnley on the email address below. Those books with a green background can be ordered on your behalf by the IFE. Please contact Jo Fearnley for prices and delivery times at joanne.fearnley@ife.org.uk Those books in white can be obtained on the internet, from bookshops and lending or reference libraries. The IFE publishes the International Fire Professional journal on a quarterly basis. The articles it contains are valuable resources, and candidates will need to categorise these articles for themselves by syllabus and by subject. Candidates are also advised to review past examination papers. Past papers, together with the associated examiner reports on the papers, can be downloaded, free of charge, from the IFE website.
