Reviews
- Good surprise! Straight forward and logical, if your experiencedReview by Rob Fire Man

Firstly the buying process was dead easy, picked up the phone, called in and spoke with Pasi from sheilds who advised the best course and took payment there and then - I wasn't sure whether to take the International or National version of this fire safety course. I ended up doing the national version as Pasi told me the international was mainly for working overseas, which I have no plan to do (for now, I'm firmly planted in the UK).Quality Value Price
I'm around half way through and quite pleased with how it's all going. After the first few weeks I got to grips with how everything worked (wasn't used to learning online) and due to my experience I'm already very family with fire regulations in the UK, so it's all sinking in rather well.
A little while after I started I decided to take the National General Certificate too as Pasi emailed to let me know I'd almost done half of that qualification by studying the Fire course already! As I was finding it quite easy, I thought I'd give the general course a go as well. I haven't starrted the general course yet, think I'll get stuck in to it in the next few weeks if all goes to plan.
