As someone who already has experience of around 100 FRA's in properties that include schools, factories, multi storey car parks, offices, theatres and leisure centres, I found that the (advanced fire safety manager) course fulfilled my need to check balance the approach I take and also provide me with "food for thought". The course provided a forum to discuss some of the vagaries of fire safety management with a knowledgeable ex-senior fire service officer, the outcome of these discussions helped to reinforce my confidence in my fire assessment competence. I found the learning process that is based on exercises supported by anecdotes and video examples to be very stimulating
Gerry Lapington, Senior Corporate Health and Safety Advisor, Denbighshire Council
Vulcan have been working with us since 2005 to provide corporate fire training to our Head Office based team.
Much progress has been made to improve our legislative compliance, management and policy interpretation. Lately five more delegates successfully completed the Fire Manager Certificate course and then went on to attain the Fire Manager Advanced Diploma. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services to any organisation involved in fire safety both for their professional expertise and excellent customer service.”
Karl Newcombe – Head of Fire Safety, Marks & Spencer
Vulcan has been able to provide our statutory fire training for all staff, and in-depth training for our Fire Officers.
Again, this has always been of an exceptionally high standard and carried out efficiently and on time within the timeframe we had agreed. I am pleased to say that we will be requesting the services of Vulcan again for our annual FRA and subsequent staff training.
Beverley McGowan, Headteacher, Holden Clough Community Primary School
Although Vulcan are specifically ‘fire’ safety trainers, they also have fire safety experience and offer qualifications which provide an extra dimension to training. Feedback from employees has been very complementary, who commented that the training has been both informative and interesting throughout.
Chris Mansell, HSE Coordinator, Leicester Cartons and Leaflets UK, Chesapeake Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Packaging
We have found the team at Vulcan to be very professional and very willing to deliver the standards we expect, which is essential for the practical application of fire risk assessment and fire safety, thus ensuring our customers and our communities are safe.
Andy Frankum, H & S Business Partner, Midland Heart
Both the Fire Manager and then the Advanced courses were fantastic.
They weren’t just a matter of putting the basics in place – the trainer delivered a whole ethos, a really useable and meaningful holistic approach. The resulting IFSM upgrade was really pleasing and is a testament to the quality of the training, which is with me in all the challenges I face here.
Andrew Briggs, Fire Safety & Environment Adviser, Safety, Health & Environment Unit, Univers
Very knowledgeable and an excellent teaching manner.
Again, the trainer taught the course well, encouraging interaction and debate. Doing this course has definitely improved my knowledge and would like the pursue further.
