Course Outline
Following the disestablishment of the Fire Service Examination Board promotional examinations, there exists a requirement to ensure that Supervisory Managers receive appropriate training and assessment for managing the Incident Ground. This programme has been designed utilising a wide variety of simulated incident scenarios to enable the delegate to develop and demonstrate competence in a risk assessed controlled environment.
