DIM Foundation Course

Detection, Identification and Monitoring (DIM) training, developed in response to a number of Fire and Rescue Services.

About this course

This comprehensive course equips delegates with the knowledge and skills to perform the role of DIM Advisor with confidence.

Delegates develop a systematic approach to all DIM incidents, so that the required safety measures are in place and risks are minimised.

The training is practical, with useful techniques, methods and checklists, and also builds an understanding of the theory and how it relates to current threats, so that activities are evidenced correctly.

Delegates receive detailed information on how to operate the various pieces of DIM equipment safely and reliably, with a full appreciation of their capabilities and, most importantly, their limitations. They also learn how to combine the equipment with the skills from Hazardous Materials Advisor training to give a safe, professional and pragmatic DIM response to challenging operational situations.
