About us

The Fire Service College (FSC) supplies specialist fire and rescue training to the UK's own fire and rescue services, the private security sector and the international market. The college was formerly an executive agency of the Department for Communities and Local Government and was sold to Capita on 28 February 2013.


We are the largest single provider of specialist operational fire and rescue training in the UK.

As well as supporting our customers from the UK Fire and Rescue Service, we also meet the training needs of other UK public sector organisations, the private sector and the international market, through the provision of a broad range of programmed and bespoke learning and development opportunities; consultancy and advice.

Our training can be uniquely designed to a particular specification (traditional, practical or e-learning) on demand and delivered collaboratively, regionally or locally, at times and locations to suit individual needs, wherever in the world it is required.

The College is based on a 365-acre site at Moreton-in-Marsh in Gloucestershire, and our unique facilities are unparalleled, as is the expert tuition provided by our experienced tutors.

I am proud of our proven record of working with customers to meet their requirements and in ensuring that the training and development that we provide is effective and of the highest quality.
