tedious
Overly long and unnecessary box ticking exercise. Try putting assessments at the start of sections to check knowledge, if the results meet the threshold give a summary and move on. For those that fail they must continue and work through the section before being retested. Questions such as "how many fires in schools are considered serious - 10 -20 30 -40 40 - 50" are a waste of time and are not useful for making you and others safe.
Simple to follow, nice pace of learning

Excellent.
Excellent training. Easy to follow and very informative with pictures and icons and summaries.
Volume levels vary between videos.
"Fire Tetrahedron" is confusing, especially when the traditional "fire triangle" is used throughout the rest of the videos. Also with regard to the fire triangle, I was asked a question where none of the answers appeared to be correct. Q: Name the three sides of the triangle of fire. A. Heat + Sparks + Air B. Oxygen + Reaction + Fuel C. Heat + Fuel / Ignition + Oxygen The least wrong answer is C, but Ignition is not one of the sides of the fire triangle. The spaces before and after the / suggest that C is showing either 2 or 4 things, not 3. Fuel/Ignition (no spaces) would have been better, but Heat + Fuel + Oxygen would have been the correct answer and not confusing.
I struggled with convection, conduction
Lots of information to remember particularly found convection conduction radiation and extinguisher types difficult.
Clear and simple to follow
The course has covered all important topics that everyone should know about "Fire Awareness" in a clear and simple way.
