Diploma of Integrated Emergency Management
Since 2009 FIOR have been delivering highly successful critical incident management training across both the private and public sectors and in response to client demand in 2014 with the support of the University of Stirling the company created a 22 week Diploma of Integrated Emergency Management (DIEM)
In 2018 our relationship with the University of Stirling continues with the University recognising the successful completion of the Diploma of Integrated Emergency Management as prior learning earning entry qualification and/or credit points to an appropriate University programme of further learning.
Recommended access to the Programme
It is anticipated that candidates on the DIEM programme will be nominated and supported by their employer, as such they will be expected to hold a middle-management position and should have the capacity to absorb the learning and to provide leadership within their organisation, or a section of it. The Diploma is also open to students on a private and individual basis and to all ranks within the emergency services and associated resilience occupations.
