Commenting on the new contract, FPA associate director for training, Sue Tyley, said: ‘I am delighted the FPA has been chosen as the preferred training partner for Falkirk Council. It builds on the substantial work and relationships we have already established in Scotland through undertaking similar activities for organisations such as West Lothian Council and the Scottish Government. The courses will develop the confidence and ability of individuals to carry out fire risk assessments on a variety of premises and to comply with current fire legislation’.
