Accurate, thorough, and completely to the point. Definitely one of the best courses I've done. The structure of learning was brilliant and nothing was too long, this means it is easy to keep your attention on it.
This is a very useful course. It is so easy to forget what colour extinguisher is for what type of fire and this information in this course is very straight forward as well as being very detailed.
All relevant points covered in a claear and concise way.
