Experienced master mariners conduct the theory sessions. These are followed by practical exercises on the fire ground and in the fire fighting unit.

The syllabus deals with fire-fighting procedures both at sea and in port and places particular emphasis on organisation, tactics and effective command including liaison with shore based fire fighters. It also covers topics such as ventilation control, hazards involving dangerous goods and the effects of fire-fighting water on ship stability. A variety of practical exercises involving fighting fires of different types and intensity are included with attendees being assessed on their ability to successfully control fire-fighting operations.
