I know of a firefighter overseas who sent me this link, its for a 3 year full time or 5/6 years part time or distance learning. just wondering if anyone on firenet is aware of it? It seems to be a brand new course, just interested in the background, level of moderators/teaching etc.

Dinnertime Dave:

Similar course here at UCLAN

They've been doing this course for a number of years.

longjohn:
Thanks Dave I'll get him to have a look

Tom Sutton:
A big difference is Wolverhampton offer part time and distance learning, Central Lancashire has offered theirs for sometime like the first and considered the best Edinburgh, ask Colin.

Mike Buckley:
There appear to be a number of these courses about the place. There is an issue in that these courses claim to prepare a person for a post in the fire service the problem being that there is very little recruitment going on at the moment. Also you have to predict whether or not the recruitment will have changed in 3 years time when you graduate.

I know someone who did one of these courses and graduated last year, not only could he not get a job but a number of his colleagues who had been promised jobs in the fire service when they started were told very sorry there are no jobs available.
