What We Offer
All courses are a combination of classroom training and live demonstration, (outside in a safe cordoned off area – generally a car park), and each trainee gets the opportunity to use a fire extinguisher in a safe controlled environment under the instruction of the trainer with live fire.
Unlike online courses which offer trainees no practical use of fire safety equipment, all of Firecom Safety Systems courses, allow delegates to experience how fire equipment performs and when (and when not to) use it in the workplace. Our trainer will give you the convenience of coming to your site meaning very minimal disruption during working time.
All delegates must achieve a pass mark of 75% (or more), on the course to gain certification stating that they have achieved basic competence at either basic fire awareness skills or fire marshal duties. This means that your company employees are better educated to understand the potential risks of fire in the workplace. This covers aspects such as faulty electrical equipment and encourages them to practice safer practices such as ensuring fire doors are closed and not wedged open helping protract escape routes in an emergency.
