Course completion
As part of this course attendees can extend the theory sections with a small amount of theory homework to obtain unit standard NZQA 3271. It is also a requirement of NZ Health and Safety laws to train employees in the use of all safety equipment provided. Ask Metro Fire Ltd can provide certificates of course completion if required.

fire extinguisher training
Handheld fire-fighting equipment can be difficult to master, and using it for the first time to extinguish a real fire can be an extremely dangerous. If these tools are not used correctly, they can actually cause fire to spread. Ask Metro Fire can conduct important fire safety education training for the entire community. Using The BullsEye™ Laser-Driven Fire Extinguisher Training System means we can train safely in any setting.
We bring our fire prevention program directly to you – complete training with no hazard and no mess.
The BullsEye™ eliminates the time consuming cleanup and expense associated with using an actual foam extinguisher, allowing us to train more people in less time.
Our courses cover theory and practical training. They take
approximately three hours and can be organised in your
own office/factory setting.
