IFEDA : Extinguisher refresher courses Great Yarmouth and Glasgow

As you know BS5306-3 : 2009 requires that fire extinguisher technicians renew their certificate every three years*.


To this end there will be a one day extinguisher refresher course at the Holiday Inn Express, West Nile Street, Glasgow on 23rd May and at the Caldecott hotel, Fritton, Great Yarmouth on 17th May.


Please note the IFEDA extinguisher training courses are recognised by BAFE as per BS5306-3 : 2009 annex A – and carry CPD accreditation.

*As previously highlighted, if you are in the BAFE scheme SP101/ST104 or are working towards the scheme – BAFE assessors are now looking for ‘large gaps’ between certificates and if appropriate recommending that the initial course may need to be retaken.
