Hadlow College Level 3 Agricultural Engineering students had the chance to visit North Kent College’s Gravesend campus to take part in Basic Fire Training.
The students completed the one-day training course to gain basic knowledge of fire safety, fire prevention and an understanding of the hazards of fire. The students now understand the need for prompt, safe and correct action to be taken on the outbreak of a fire and experienced the use of extinguishers on live fires.
This course was essential knowledge the students needed to keep them safe in the environments they currently work in at college and for their future employment enabling them to use the lessons learnt in the case of an emergency, enhancing their employability skills.
Ethan Jarvis Baker, Level 3 Agricultural Engineering student said, "I thoroughly enjoyed the day, and learnt a lot about basic fire awareness that will help me in the future."
Christina Tyler, Agricultural Engineering Lecturer said, “The course was very in-depth and practical, and we have discovered we do have some bright sparks in the group. The whole group were engaged and have all gained a lot. The team who delivered the course were very good with the students.”
