A Polytechnic in Fire Technology and Safety is a 3-year professional diploma program that teaches students how to prevent, control, and manage fire-related emergencies. The course focuses on the science behind fire, the use of modern firefighting equipment, safety rules, industrial safety practices, and techniques for handling risks in different environments. Students learn how fires start, how to stop them, how to rescue people safely, and how to create safety plans to prevent accidents in factories, buildings, airports, and public places.
The diploma also trains you in disaster management, emergency response, risk assessment, and safety audits, which are essential in industries like manufacturing, aviation, construction, oil and gas, and power plants. Along with classroom learning, the program includes practical drills, mock fire simulations, real-time rescue training, industrial visits, and hands-on use of equipment like extinguishers, hydrant systems, breathing apparatus, and rescue tools.
