Fire Safety Courses

Acorn takes the time to gain an understanding of your fire safety requirements and practices in your organisation to ensure we provide meaningful and relevant fire safety training. This can be supported by practical use of our environmentally friendly propane gas training rig to simulate a variety of different fire types.

“I just wanted to ensure we sent a thank you to the Acorn trainer who did our Emergency First Aid at Work course. We were fully booked with attendees, many of whom dread a day on a course like this, but they all stated how great it was and how much they learned. The instructor was patient and happily went into situations we deal with specifically enabling them to feel more confident in real life situations we do face as a venue. Thank you again, I would highly recommend you.”
