The Global Fire Science Training Program is aimed at capacity development in emerging economies. The focus is on training-of-trainers, e.g., university academics, in the area of Fire Science. It supports academics from universities with established fire science and engineering programs to travel to emerging economies to teach plug-and-play introductory fire science courses. Course attendees are free to use the course material to set up equivalent courses at their home universities. Attendance for trainers is free of charge. The course can also be offered to fire professionals in Emerging Economies at a nominal fee, with any surplus returned to the program for reinvestment in future course deliveries.
In December 2025, the course Fire 101 was piloted in Sri Lanka. Fire 101, which was taught by Dr Aatif Khan, was attended by approximately 100 course delegates.
