Please be aware that the IFEDA Office will close at 12:00 noon on Thursday 21^st December and re-open on Tuesday 2^nd January.

This course will be postponed until the New Year. Apologies but it has not proved possible to get the trainer from the far North to the Chester training location due to deep lying snow and blocked roads. The full extinguisher course due to start on Tuesday will go ahead if, as expected the conditions improve and the roads clear.
