Inks partnership with Qual-eFire, an international training platform
International public services company, Serco Middle East recently signed a partnership with the internationally renowned aircraft rescue and fire-fighting (ARFF) training providers Qual-eFire to bring their cloud-based training and assessment platform to the Middle East in a multi-year agreement.
Built by experienced firefighters for firefighters, the Qual-eFire training and assessment framework, which Serco will initially launch into the UAE and Saudi Arabia, has been designed specifically for the region and is fully aligned with the regulatory requirements of both the UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) and Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA).
The partnership between Serco Middle East, who currently employ more than 200 firefighters and support staff across the Middle East, and Qual-eFire means firefighters will have access to international resources and be trained in best practices from multiple countries including the US, UK and Australia, where Qual-eFire originates.
High safety levels
“The capabilities and thoroughness of the Qual-eFire training programme means we can offer the best possible training to our firefighters here in the region, using the latest technologies, which in turn supports government visions for high levels of both customer and employee service and safety,” remarked Teren Tan, Head of Emergency Services, Serco’s Middle East.
“Our partnership with Serco will elevate standards of fire safety and emergency response across the region. Together, we are setting a new benchmark for safety and preparedness in the aviation sector,” commented Tim Dean, CEO, Qual-eFire.
