Learn your way to a professionally-recognised fire safety qualification

Find out how the combination of our 5-day Fire Risk Assessor course and 4-day Managing Fire Safety course awards delegates with the Vulcan 9-day Fire Manager course, which is accredited by the Institute of Fire Safety Managers (IFSM) and recognition by the Institute of Fire Engineers (IFE).

If you are in a role that requires you to take senior level decisions on everything from fire risk assessments to fire evacuation plans, as well as interpreting fire safety legislation, then these two courses are essential investments in your learning.

Here we explain what to expect from the initial 5-day Fire Risk Assessor course, and the enhanced learning you will receive in the 4-day Managing Fire Safety course.
