This training is a 5 day course consisting of classroom and hands-on field application training. To produce firefighters who meet the requirements of NFPA1001/472 and are job ready at an entry level.
Practical Fire Fighting Training Workshop
COURSE OVERVIEW
The Practical Fire Fighting Training Workshop is specifically designed for your Fire & HSE teams who may be called upon to handle & manage an emergency or disaster situation.
With the higher risks associated with expanding industry there is a real need for more people to be trained in fire fighting & incident management to prevent the loss of life and damage to infrastructure.
This training is a 5 day course consisting of classroom and hands-on field application training. Training is conducted through student participation, operational classes, case studies, field exercises and scenarios, classroom exercises and discussions.
