Fire Extinguisher Training – FIRE02

Our fire extinguisher training course is aimed at all levels of staff that have a fire safety responsibility that may need to operate fire extinguishers.

“I just wanted to let you know that 10 of our volunteers attended first aid training on Friday 19th May 2017 and we really enjoyed it! The Acorn trainer was a very entertaining trainer who has the ability to make it fun yet still deliver the important content! We all came away feeling confident with our new skills! A huge thank you for accommodating our needs as an organisation, we really appreciate it, and will  definitely be looking into other courses. Acorn deliver.”
