Post Graduate Certificate in HealthCare Fire Safety.

" Having successfully completed the first module, the Post Graduate Healthcare Fire Safety Management Course at Loughborough University is in my opinion the way forward to provide consistency throughout our industry and is a must for all NHS Fire Advisors, the course itself attempts to level the undulating fire safety playing field in pleasant surroundings with input from a number of specialists including the delegates.

Although I personally do not have an academic background and freely admit that it is hard work - this degree is not given away - enough support is on hand to help achieve the necessary standard leading to eventual graduation, but future courses are dependent on attendance and I would strongly urge all fire advisors and fire safety managers to try and secure the necessary funding."
