The first agreement was signed with the Canada-based Ontario Fire Academy (OFA) which will see TSSDMC's UAE-based Oil '&' Gas clients taught the skills required to be qualified Level 1 and 2 Fire Fighters. TSSDMC will work with the OFA to design, develop, and deliver short courses and programs as per the internationally-recognized standards of the US National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

Khaleefa Al Hemairi, Project Director for TSSDMC said: "We are committed to providing the best possible education and training in the fields of safety, security, emergency preparedness and disaster management by collaborating with a hand-picked selection of international partners. By doing this, we hope to further strengthen the UAE's capability to mitigate the impact of natural disaster or man-made crisis and maintain overall business continuity.

TSSDMC - together with its collaborative partners - will deliver technical vocational and professional training that fuses scenario-based live training with virtual simulation.
