The test is a written exam, 10 questions with open answer, available time 1 hour. Assessment system: 3 points for each correct answer, 1 point for each correct answer but not complete, 0 point for wrong answers or question without answer, 18 points (18/30) is the minimum to pass the test. The teacher will value the student’s grade of knowledge and the ability in the explaining arguments and presenting outlines, schemes, graphics and figures.
During the test the classroom exit is not allowed as well as the use of mobile phones or other electronic devices. At the end of the exam the students must give back all papers given at the start with full name and student’s number.
All the topics presented during the course will be part of the final exam.
Only the students regularly enrolled for the exam will be allowed to face it by exhibiting their own university card. The students surprised counterfeiting the exam will be cancelled till the following session.
If the final mark would be refused, the student must send an e-mail communication (Fabio.conti@uninsubria.it) within five days after the result publication on the ESSE3 platform and a written and oral exam can be arranged to assess, in detail, his/her real skill. The mark could be even lower than that obtained during the written test.
If the student refuses the grade he/she will makes the exam only in the next second session.
The aim of the course is to give basic knowledge and skills to develop a technical activity in the field of prevention and management of the fire risk.
The arguments of the course program give a picture of theoretical and practical activities in the field of the management of fire risk, connecting the topics with the national Rules.

Technical visits
The course is held with lectures.
During the lessons are projected a series of power point presentations containing the definitions and principles established by the current regulations and by the rules of good technique.
The personal Protective Equipment and the firefighting active protective equipment used during practical activities will meke available by the University
The students can meet the teacher in the classroom before and after the lessons and in his office (villa Toeplitz), also out of the standard time, by means of a telephone call (0332-218780) or (better) an e-mail (fabio.conti@uninsubria.it) date, to facilitate worker students.
