Fire & Safety Training Ltd - Onekawa

Fire & Safety Training Ltd (F&ST) was established in 1998 by Gordon Ireland to provide quality, practical compliance training to industry.  Gordon remains the Managing Director and although the business has grown and now employs eight trainers across the Timaru and Napier sites, Gordon likes to remain hands on, and still delivers training on and offsite to our many clients.

in 2019, NZQA  identified us as a Category 1 Private Training Establishment. This means that NZQA is highly confident in our educational performance, and highly confident in our self-assessment capability.  We are very proud of this achievement.
