Your path to expertise
Unlock the secrets of fire retardant application with our comprehensive training course. Learn from decades of experience and become a confident, life-saving professional.
Our unique course
This course distils training and knowledge gathered over 40 years in the cleaning and proofing of textiles, timber, and much more. It's estimated that 820,000 tonnes of flame retardant chemicals are sold in the UK annually. Most of this is applied during manufacturing under controlled conditions. While anyone can buy retrospective flame retardant sprays, very few people know how to apply these chemicals correctly. We hope to change that, empowering you with the right knowledge and skills.
