Our Facilities

Our training and research complex is one of the most comprehensive and ambitious facilities dedicated to fire-investigation and related activities outside the USA. Located just 50 miles outside of London in Wethersfield, Essex.

On site we have break-out rooms to enable practical course syndicates to carry out briefings, document their findings etc. As well as a classroom and other areas for demonstrations, refreshments and storage.

Each syndicate is provided with comprehensive fire / arson investigation tool kits and has access to a breakout room for briefings and team meetings. 

  • Student / Trainer ratios are often as low as 3:1 

  • Our courses are challenging, enjoyable and rewarding
