fire safety/awareness instructor courses

Hi all, I am based on the east coast of Ireland and want to expand my remit further. Does anybody know of any course which would enable me to present courses in fire safety/ awareness, use of portable extinguishers and/or servicing of portable fire fighting equipment. Obviously this course would have to be recognised by an awarding authority to demonstrate competency. I would be in a position to travel if necessary. Kevin

I would suggest there are 3 elements to your aspirations
1) Fire awareness training, this can be achieved via a training course sourced from a range of providers (Abertay Training provide an IFE approved course across the UK, to include Belfast, and Ireland (Dublin))
2) Fire Fighting, there will be a range of instructor type courses potentially sourced from a number of Fire and Rescue Services and other commercial providers such as Fire training academy. It may be that previous experience in a fire service may given you a competency base on which to provide such training
3) To be able to instruct others on fire extinguisher maintenance would require a fair amount of training and it will not be cheap - the technicians servicing course alone could be 4 days and in excess of £1000
I hope this helps
Stuart
