With experience of meeting the training requirements of some 3,000 organisations, he has overseen the
training of more than 30,000 delegates. Courses undertaken range from fire awareness and fire warden, to
the advanced fire risk assessor course accredited by the
Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE).
As the leading professional body in the field of fire, the IFE was the first UK organisation to establish a
register and it remains the largest scheme presently in the UK. The IFE is also a member of the Fire Sector Federation,
which has published national competency criteria with which all applicants to schemes are expected to be familiar.
