Course Overview

Foundation Entry degree courses are designed for students who have the ability to study for a degree but dont have the necessary formal qualifications to directly enter their chosen Honours degree program. This course combines academic study with practical hands-on training in fire service operations. It covers leadership, fire risk management, fire and rescue operations, fire science, fire safety, fire investigation, human resource management, business, and management practice. We combine theoretical science with hands-on practical and leadership skills. Recent course improvements include breathing apparatus, road traffic accident rescue technician training, and trauma care.
