MEDICAL FITNESS
This course contains some physical exercises during the practical sessions which some may find demanding. Any candidate unsure of their fitness or suitability for such activities should consult their doctor. The practical element of the course requires delegates to wear breathing apparatus and to enter a darkened space in order to carry out search and rescue, and firefighting. Can you meet these requirements?
ASSESSMENT
There is continual assessment throughout the course via oral questioning and practical demonstration and participation. Successful candidates will be awarded the STCW Certificate in Basic Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting on the day.
