About Us
The National Fire Safety & Rescue College (NFSRC) is a non-profit organization registered with the local government. Its primary goal is to promote research and quality higher education among Indians. It is a network whose members include major Indian higher education institutions, existing for the sole purpose of bringing them together to collaborate on issues that matter not only to them but to the Indian community at large.
The organization’s activities and programs revolve around nurturing environments conducive to research and development, an area in which the whole region seems to lag far behind. The establishment of NFSRC sprang from the realization that the development of the research capabilities and facilities of these institutions, and the general quality of higher education, is a necessary component for finding a way out of the current state of affairs. With the belief that knowledge is real power and research is the only way to gain and share it, NFSRC works towards this goal. The National Fire Safety & Rescue College clearly demonstrates that the institution has defined its mission and core themes.
With the role of fire and rescue services at the heart of public safety, never has it been more important to find new,
effective and sustainable ways of maintaining and improving standards from a declining budget. We recognise that now is
an important time for the College to play a full and active role in helping you to achieve challenging objectives. To
do this the College is changing.
Our new modularised and distributed training delivery model allows you, as far as possible, to make local choices about what’s
delivered, where, when and by whom. We have reviewed our pricing strategy and can offer significant reductions for greater
collaboration and aggregation of demand, longevity of commitment and development pathways.
Through working in partnership with you, our vision is to transform the College into a truly world-class training establishment
and Centre of Excellence across the fire and wider emergency services sector. I feel honoured to have been appointed to steer
the College on the next step of its journey and believe passionately in its future. I have no doubt that it can once again be
at the heart of the customer community it serves, increasing efficiencies and providing a central hub around which we can all
collaborate. To find out more about any of the developments taking place at the College, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
The NFSRC is a leading organisation providing high quality Assessed, Accredited and Assured training to the fire and rescue
service and wider emergency services sector. We have the experience and resources to enable emergency responders at all levels
to train with us, and to validate learning strategically, tactically and operationally. We are here to support you and your
organisation as we strive together to improve the safety of firefighters, other emergency responders and the communities which
you serve.
With the number of emergency calls falling year on year, opportunities to develop and practise skills in real-life situations
are diminishing, increasing the importance of training. Our unique incident ground enables us to stage a wide range of
realistic and immersive exercises, offering learners the most varied experience possible. We are currently reviewing and
updating a number of our courses to move towards a more practical and experiential learning-based approach.
However, we also recognise that it is not always feasible for fire and rescue services to release staff for long periods to
attend training some distance away. Our new modularised and distributed delivery model is therefore designed to offer maximum
flexibility in the way that we bring our training to you.
This prospectus provides an overview of our training directory. However, if there is something specific that you require please
