Watch out for further news about how the Fire Service College is changing to better meet the increasingly demanding needs of today's emergency service professionals.

 IMPORTANT NOTICE

The Fire Service College was transferred to Capita by the Department of Communities and Local Government on the 28^th February 2013.

The College is now in private ownership and is not a Royal College nor the holder of a Royal Warrant. 

Capita has embarked on a two year transformation of the College that will see a broad range of investments across both the College infrastructure and training capabilities. One of the key changes taking place is the development and launch of a new brand identity to reflect the change of ownership and private investment now being made.  The new branding will reflect this change as the College embarks on the next stage of its evolution.

The College continues under covenant to be the custodian of a number of Key National Resilience Capabilities on behalf of the UK Government.  It will retain its use of UK Fire and Rescue Service secondees in its training model to maintain frontline operational currency and experience in the delivery of core training.
