FireRescue courses provide study support and completion certificates, not nationally recognised competency or accredited qualifications.

Experience behind the learning

Grounded in 40 years of fire service experience.

FireRescue study resources draw on Ken Walker's 25 years as a career firefighter and 15 years as a volunteer. His experience includes Station Officer, Operations Officer and Acting Operations Manager roles, as well as training new firefighters and supporting instructors.

Ken holds qualifications in fire technology and professional firefighting studies. This experience shapes the practical focus of the learning material; it does not make these online courses accredited training.
