The National School of Firefighters (ENB) is a non-profit private entity and collective person of public utility that has as associates the National Authority for Emergency and Civil Protection (ANEPC) and the Portuguese Firefighters League (LBP).
Recognized as a pedagogical authority in the technical training of Portuguese firefighters, it is the ENB that, since 1988, has been developing the qualifications and specializations essential for the increasingly demanding mission of firefighters and other protection and rescue agents.
This fundamental mission that the ENB plays in the development of the national civil protection system has been extended, from 2011, to the municipal domain through the training of firefighters and municipal staff .
Over more than two decades promoting «knowledge to serve», ENB has accumulated a vast experience duly recognized and certified at national and international level. This training credibility is also made available to all citizens, public and private entities through the Service Center for Institutions and Companies .
The ENB is headquartered in Quinta do Anjinho , in Sintra, where it developed as the national center for the qualification of Portuguese firefighters, a position that has been shared through initiatives that decentralize its activity, firstly through a national network of accredited external trainers, later with the founding of training centers in Lousã and S. João da Madeira . In 2009, ENB began the implementation of Local Training Units strategically distributed across the mainland, thus bringing the training offer closer to its recipients.
