if you have been trained and passed an intensive course with a fire brigade (which covers fires risk assessment, fire science aspects of fire and fire marshaling), should this not be recognised by prospective employers?
i would welcome your opinions ( especially those who have taken the NEBOSH Fire Safety Course)
Many thanks.

It would seem logical, however don't forget that the employer would have a duty to make an assessment of competence so ultimately the decision on what is competence rest with them - until it gets to court of course ;}

I think it should Steve. In my opinion an intensive course run by a fire brigade is far more credible than a course run by an occupational safety and health examination board.
That's my opinion.

It should also depend on the appropriateness - curriculum, and date ... such a course passed seven years ago is not going to be as appropriate as one passed today, because the legal requirements and strategies have changed.
But if it is a similar or like for like course, then yes, it should be.
