Leadership and management foundation degree students at West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service set to graduate later this year
The two-year course in leadership and management was launched in conjunction with the University of Bradfords School of Lifelong Education and Development (SLED).
Its aim is to equip managers, specifically in the fire and rescue service, with a dual academic and vocational qualification, and the skills needed to carry out their role.
The course has been adopted by a number of brigades across the country, and is seen as an alternative to the Fire Service College in Gloucestershire.
Phil Toase, chief fire officer at West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, said: The foundation degree in leadership and management is a good example of how partnership working can improve the service we provide to our community
