3/5
The videos wouldn’t work

Apart from the videos not working the course is comprehensive and straightforward to complete

3/5
Ok

Most not relivent to me

3/5
Too many computer generated graphics

I thought an opportunity was missed to show a real extinguisher extinguishing a real fire. The computer generated graphics did nothing to reassure people who have not used an extinguisher that it can work!

3/5
Useful, clear

The only improvement would be if more time was spent on describing the types of fires during the intro so that it is really ingrained as to what A,B,C,D and F fires are. Without that sound understanding, the succeeding sections which refer to which type fires you can use particular fire extinguishers on become difficult to learn/understand

3/5
A good beginning

The word asphyxiation was use on the CO2 slide, however, there will be some people that do not know what this word means, i.e. people with asperger’s syndrome or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.Also, this course is a good first step but shouldn’t there be some practice use of extinguisher, also what about fire hoses?Regards Mr Alderson

3/5
A bit useful but also confusing

I learnt a bit but am left feeling more confused than anything because of the multiple types of fire and types of extinguisher. Is it possible to give us an easier way to remember what type of extinguisher should be used on each type of fire?

3/5
Theoretical training level is acceptable

From my experience as a fire fighter and from attendance of previous extinguisher courses, I would recommend that all people taking part in extinguisher training have hands on training, not just theoretical training in front of a screen. Until you have a fire in front of you (controlled for training purposes) and you have to put into practice what you have learnt in theory you do not know how you will react, some people panic and are unable to tackle a small fire. In my opinion all fire extinguisher training should involve practical training, if this cannot be arranged, people should simply be told to exit the building via a safe route as this is the best advice anyone can receive. A little knowledge can be more dangerous than having none.

3/5
Good, concise information

Content was exactly the same as that in the fire warden training
