Fire & Safety Training Ltd (F&ST) was established in 1998 by Gordon Ireland to provide quality, practical compliance training to industry. Gordon remains the Managing Director and although the business has grown and now employs eight trainers across the Timaru and Napier sites.
In August 2023, NZQA identified us again as a Category 1 Private Training Establishment.
This means that NZQA is highly confident in our educational performance, and highly confident in our self-assessment capability.
We are very proud of this achievement.
