The danger of fire in even modern residential developments is very real. We aim to inform candidates of general fire related risks in residential properties and how to mitigate them. This section also covers the importance of fire alarm testing and understanding evacuation policies.

• Front desk operations

The front desk is the public face of any development. We cover the differences from a hotel reception and explain how a well-run front desk is the hub of any development.
