TESTIMONIALS

Fire Inspector Level I & II Combined

“I want to say a huge thank you for all the time and effort you put into helping me prepare for my Level I & II Fire Inspector exams. I definitely could not have done it without your support. I look forward to becoming more involved with fire safety and prevention as I grow throughout my fire / EMS career.”

Ethan Endicott

Fatal Fire Training – In Person Event

“The in-depth information from the presenter was fantastic. Real world examples of fire destruction of the human body. Eye opening to say the least. It’s always a great experience working with Firewise!”

 

Fire Investigation Origin & Cause Level II Virtual

“Very well designed program. This was an excellent course that I would definitely recommend to other students. I have found both FireWise courses I’ve taken very well designed, the support is great, feedback informative and the web interface very easy to use. One of my favourite things about the training was the ease of use.”

Continuing Education for Fire Investigators

“This continuing education course is an excellent resource for any fire safety codes officer looking to stay up-to-date. It provides a comprehensive and valuable overview of the latest standards, ensuring officers are well-versed in current best practices. The modules themselves were engaging and well-structured, offering clear and concise explanations of specific fire code requirements. I found the content both interesting and highly informative. I highly recommend this course to all fire safety codes officers seeking to enhance their knowledge and maintain a high level of expertise in the field.”

Patricia Young

Fire Inspector Level I & II Combined

“Excellent videos and content. One of the better online courses I have done. You can tell a lot of
effort was put into the online content. It shows. This course was so much better than a lot of the
other online courses I have done in the past.”

Chris den Ouden

Fire Inspector Level I & II Combined

“This course enabled me to begin my journey in Fire Prevention with knowledge and confidence.
The blended course was the best option for my intended job path and the self-paced learning allowed for no disruptions with my work or personal commitments. I was very impressed with the process of obtaining NFPA certification, as it was straight-forward and timely.”

Aimee Jordan

 

Fire Inspector Level I & II Combined

“I was very skeptical of an online Fire Inspector course and believed I might be throwing my money away, as it would be an extremely challenging course that I would find difficult to complete. I was happy to find out this has not been the case so far. Quite the opposite actually. It provides a lot of info and was challenging enough to keep me interested and not so challenging as to dissuade me from working on it whenever I had time.”

 

Fire Investigation Origin & Cause Level I & II

“I feel like it has been one of the best courses I have taken in my journey to becoming a Fire Investigator. I have had fun learning so many new things during the Online NFPA 1033 Course.
There is more information contained within it than I anticipated. I also very much appreciate being able to watch Dr. Dehann in his videos throughout the modules. His level of experience is a rare treat. His explanations and advice are sometimes followed by anecdotal stories, which add realism to the learning. Visually, the fire scene was more crisp and sharp than I expected. With a seemingly higher level of definition than I have seen from other learning tools, especially
when considering the zoom-in function.”
