BFC Training Success

The British Fire Consortium has linked up with Vulcan Fire Training and the Institute of Fire Safety Managers to provide a pathway to professional fire safety qualifications. The first successful delegates to complete the Fire Safety Manager Course, Phil Harrison of Fire Protect and Peter Cook of Cams Fire & Security, have been presented with their certificates and have also been granted Membership of the Institute of Fire Safety Managers at Technician grade with the entitlement to use the post nominal TechIFSM. On receiving his certificate Phil Harrison said, "I found the course to be very well presented, constructive and informative and would strongly recommend it to BFC members who wish to develop professionally in Fire Safety Management".
