Courses of authorities


There are different models for training firefighters provided by external organizers. For example, the fire service inspectorates of the cantons of Solothurn and Beider Basel, as well as national fire service organisations in Switzerland, use our infrastructure for fire service courses under their own responsibility. Fire service schools from abroad, such as the Baden-Württemberg State Fire School, advertise tunnel courses for multipliers. These are then carried out by the International Fire Academy. The two examples illustrate the spectrum of possible cooperations.

It is also possible to test special equipment such as firefighting support vehicles or large fans under realistic conditions and to practice their use. Tunnel fire services in particular benefit from this offer. Fire services, for example, bring their rebreathers with them in order to be able to practice with them under close-to-use conditions. The Tactics Centre, on the other hand, is in demand when it comes to developing and reviewing complex operational concepts.

Notes for organizers

Early planning recommended

The already planned training service has priority. However, there are usually suitable gaps for external organisers if the planning is made in advance. Therefore, please contact us early.

Individual offer

We will coordinate with you the details of your utilisation and our support individually. The special operating conditions of our training centres are also taken into account.

Additionally booking meals

In addition to the infrastructure, we also take care of the catering. Depending on the course, it is possible to use the canteen offer or to choose a catering.

Handling of fire extinguishers


Various organizations - even without a fire service background - have their staff trained in handling portable fire extinguishers. The fire extinguishing platform offers ideal conditions for this.

Rooms for seminars


Rooms in the classroom building can be rented for events and seminars regardless of the topic. We have rooms suitable for small workshops up to lectures for up to 130 people.
