Fantastic instruction, professional and knowledgeable would highly recommend. Will be back for Advanced Fire. What could be constructed as a dull, dry subject was engaging and interesting, with plenty of examples and exercises.

Brilliant course, instructors made the training interesting and adapted it to special trade and situations onboard. Excellent in depth knowledge and answered all questions I had.
Steve Spear –
The course has provided me with a vast knowledge of the ship security role. The instructor was knowledgeable, professional and most of all delivered in a relaxed way to enhance the learner. Particularly useful, the course involved a visit to Bristol Port faculty and also a ships visit. This was an invaluable part of the course in terms of realism.
