Gain Your Certificate in Fire Fighting With Us
Over the past decade, the country has seen some enormous and difficult wildfires, and those who have worked to quench them are understandably lauded for their ability to stay calm under immense pressure. But firefighting is about more than just picking up a hose. It requires a certain level of personal responsibility and an intense understanding of how different types of fire ignite, spread and are extinguished.
Education about the causes and control of fire is critical, and it is with this in mind that we offer our certificate in fire fighting. It is a five-day course that covers a broad range of practices and data about the prevention and suppression of fire, as well as important information on structural damage and personal safety during fire fighting.

Course information will include:
- Basic fire science
- Understanding of team roles
- Observational techniques and processes

At the end of your assessment, you will have had the chance to tackle a fire yourself and formed a deep understanding of the mechanics of fire and its fuel sources. Due to the nature of the course, you must expect physical exertion and some uncomfortable scenarios. We also require you to have completed your first aid training in order to enrol.
