Yes. The Polytechnic in Fire Technology and Safety diploma is specifically designed to prepare students for real-world emergencies and rescue operations. The program combines theoretical knowledge with extensive practical training, ensuring that graduates are confident and competent when responding to fires, accidents, and disasters.
Students participate in mock fire drills, emergency response exercises, and disaster simulations, which closely replicate real-life scenarios. These activities teach you how to assess risks quickly, make effective decisions under pressure, and coordinate with a team during critical situations.
The course also provides hands-on experience with real fire-fighting and rescue equipment, including fire extinguishers, hoses, hydrants, protective gear, ropes, stretchers, and first-aid kits. You learn not just to use this equipment, but also to maintain it properly and deploy it safely during emergencies.
Additionally, training in rescue operations and disaster management teaches you how to evacuate people safely, control hazards, and provide immediate assistance in industrial, commercial, or public settings. By the end of the program, you will have developed both the technical skills and practical confidence needed to handle emergencies efficiently.
