Covered in this course

The Fire Awareness Training in Education course is broken down into 5 sections.

1) The Nature of Fire

To keep your school safe from fire it’s useful to have a good understanding of fire and fire behaviour – how it starts and how it spreads. This section explains "The Triangle of Fire", "Fire Growth and Development", and "Fire Spread". It particularly looks at the causes and costs of fires in schools.

Excellent

No summary provided

5/5
Detailed and informative

The videos and transcript resources are extremely detailed and really informative. However, some of the slides contain factual information which is a bit irrelevant to the course and could potentially be omitted. Such as statistics about arson incidents etc. This would also reduce the time needed to complete the course.
