Fomtec International Foam School
October 26th – 30th, 2026
As firefighting technology evolves, so do the complexities of selecting and applying the right foam for fire suppression. The industry-wide shift from AFFF to synthetic fluorine-free foams (SFFF) has introduced new challenges, requiring professionals to go beyond standardised testing and develop a data-driven, application-specific understanding of modern foam technology. This is why the Fomtec International Foam School exists.
The International Foam School is designed to equip fire safety professionals with technical expertise, hands-on experience, and industry insights needed to make informed decisions in high-risk environments, combining scientific principles, real-world testing, and system design fundamentals.
What is Foam School?
Over a 4-day period Foam School provides a fast paced and intensive instruction in all things related to “foam”, based on instructor led classroom information sessions, case studies and Q&A sessions. All sessions will be led by experienced instructors and all attendees will receive a copy of the Fomtec Foam Manual as well as worksheets for notetaking, etc. Students will be welcomed to the Fomtec Foam Factcory, as part of the Foam School.
Topics covered include:
- Foam basics and terminology
- Fomtec foam productline
- Foam hardware
- International standards and approvals
- Transition to Fluorine Free Foams
