A thoroughly enjoyable course, it was a full week with plenty of practical scenarios, excellent visiting lecturers and all the Gardiner instructors had huge amounts of experience and knowledge to share with the course plus… the food was outstanding!!!

This interactive training course is second to no other I have attended over the past twenty years. It allowed me to put theory into practice by examining real fire scenes in real compartments. From the introductions to the close of the course it was obvious that the instructors are experts in their fields. The team deliver subjects with infectious passion which builds confidence.
