Course description
Who should attend?
This course is suitable for:
- those who are responsible for overseeing fire safety
- designated fire marshals
- anyone who needs to know how to use a fire extinguisher.
Candidates need a basic command of English (defined as Level 2). While we are often able to provide support to people who do not have English as a first language, our ability to do so is limited by the time available and the number of people who require assistance. We may be able to make special arrangements if requested in advance. Please contact us if you need any guidance.
