As the Fire Safety Unit have arranged for Core Fire to hold this training on a regular basis, we would request that staff enrol on one of the available offerings, to alleviate the time and resource previously spent to organise ad-hoc training for specific areas.

Offerings (dates) with venues secured are listed below.  Further dates will be made available for self-enrolment once room bookings are secured for the training.  Please be assured that the future dates will go ahead, in the campus area listed.

The course has a minimum of 10 (and maximum of 15) attendees to run so please book with this in mind.  If the minimum number is not reached, the offering will be cancelled and you should enrol on the next suitable offering.
