Apprenticeship Pathways - Fire Safety

Fire safety apprenticeships present the opportunity to upskill or reskill existing employees, via Government funded programmes, to achieve nationally recognised qualifications. They can also support organisations to recruit and train new talent.

This is particulary vital to the fire safety sector with the ever-increasing call for enhancing competence levels following the Hackitt report: Building a Safer Future.

The fire safety apprenticeship pathway consists of three programmes which have the potential to lead to top level of fire safety academic excellence with Xact.
