“I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the “Georgian Fire Prevention Association” for its significant contribution to the professional retraining and qualification enhancement of our employees. It is extremely important for the university that personnel responsible for safety are highly qualified and equipped with modern knowledge and practical skills. Our university is home to a large academic community, making the safety of students and staff one of our highest priorities.
