The programme, linked to the National Fire Cadet model, is delivered by firefighters and volunteers, and lasts for 38 weeks within the academic year of 2021/2022. Weekly sessions will take place every Wednesday evening, from 6pm to 8.30pm at Trowbridge fire station and will involve a mix of practical and classroom-based theory elements alongside community-based social action projects.
