Jerico Training & Fire Industries operates as a dedicated provider of practical and technical training tailored to industry, commerce and wider society within the Southern African region. With a focus on fire safety, health and safety management, and the installation and maintenance of safety systems, the organisation emphasises both education and hands-on solutions designed to reduce life and property losses.

The company offers a comprehensive portfolio that spans design, installation and project management across security, communication, fire detection and fire protection markets. The training arm supports a broad spectrum of industrial and commercial courses, delivered either at the Jerico facility or at a client’s premises. This flexibility enables organisations to choose between a contained training environment or real-world workplace scenarios, depending on the needs of the programme and the participants.

Central to Jerico’s offering is a practical training centre that is described as dedicated to assisting and training in the prevention and management of fire and health and safety risks. The centre specialises in courses that are relevant to day-to-day operations, helping personnel understand their responsibilities and the appropriate responses to emergencies. The organisation highlights that its training programmes can be customised and delivered on site to suit client requirements, alongside standard training programmes designed to meet common industry needs.

Key services are grouped under several core areas. Fire fighting training is designed for scenarios where fire could occur, emphasising prevention, early detection and effective responses when emergencies arise. Fire extinguisher servicing is a practical service that covers the supply, servicing, maintenance and commissioning of extinguishers, together with planned testing and inspection regimes to ensure equipment readiness. Health and safety training targets managers and workers responsible for safety, with courses intended to enhance competence and ensure regulatory compliance. In addition, Jerico offers Evacuation Plans and Procedures, including drafting, printing, installation and compilation of evacuation documentation, training of evacuation officials, and assistance with drills and exercises.

Experiential learning and blended delivery appear to be supported by online components, indicating a multi-channel approach to competence development. The organisation’s approach to on-site training and the ability to address on-site risks aligns with typical demand from facilities managers, safety officers and maintenance teams seeking practical, immediately applicable skills.

Customer feedback highlights a responsive and knowledgeable team. Reviews emphasise the expertise of Jerico personnel, particularly in fire protection equipment and health and safety training.
