"Washington Hall will provide support, development and training to meet all customer needs. If you need to train at Washington Hall or have us train in-country, we will provide this commitment."

Washington Hall International Training and Development Centre in association with UK based universities such as Lancaster University and UCLan and Blackburn College University Centre have provided support and development in degree programmes. One such degree is the Foundation Degree in Fire Service Management delivered by Blackburn College University Centre. We are able to support the academic development of officers in other degrees such as the Fire Engineering and Honours degrees.

The critical element that Washington Hall’s unique Training Centre provides to the academic development of International Officers is the transfer of theory in to the practical. This is achieved by supporting the officers understanding of the strategic (academic) with the understanding and how this is applied in a practical scenario (operational).

Working with many of the Fire Services both Government and Industrial (Oil & Gas) Washington Hall provide support and guidance in key areas such as ‘Operational Competence Assessment’ and ‘Learning Needs Analysis’ (LNA). Both of these areas are vital to support and develop both types of organisations.
