The Fire Service College in Moreton-in-Marsh, the home of firefighter development, has put together a world-class training package called the Firefighter Foundation Development Programme for both wholetime and on-call positions, designed to get you ready for immediate active service on the fire appliance and in the community from day one. Working in collaboration with the fire services across the UK, this takes up to 12 weeks of intensive training for wholetime recruits. For on-call recruits between 30 and 40 days spread over a number of weekends.
