Industry Training
Servicing and Maintenance of Portable Fire Extinguishers
Whether you work for a fire protection company or have responsibility for maintaining equipment within your company there is a need today to prove that you are a 'competent person'.
BAFE
training courses are designed as a step towards fulfilling the requirement
of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order in providing the necessary
training in order to obtain a certificate of competence for the servicing
of portable fire extinguishers.
The comprehensive three day training course culminates on day four with the candidate sitting the Fire Extinguishing Trades Association's nationally recognized, BSI approved, qualification.
BAFE training has resulted in an unprecedented high pass rate due to the dedication of its training team.
Such is this dedication, that BAFE is believed to be the only organization to provide evening 'clinics' as part of the package to those candidates requiring the extra tuition.
There is also an ongoing assessment programme throughout the duration of the course to ensure that the candidate is never left behind.
The comprehensive course manual handed to each candidate serves, not only as a training aid, but also includes additional valuable information aimed at producing the 'well rounded' service technician.
As an added unique 'extra' a full back up service is given to each candidate by the trainer to assist in the solving of any problems which the newly qualified service technician may come across in his/her day to day activities.
