About the course

Brief Description of the Course:

This is a fully online course and requires access to an internet enabled computer or tablet. Once students receive the log in details for the programme then they can complete the course at any time and the certificate can be printed off at the end of the course.

In Article 18 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, nominating one or more competent persons to assist the responsible person in undertaking the preventive and protective measures is mentioned. It is for this reason that fire wardens need to be nominated and trained sufficiently.

Our fire warden/fire marshal training course seeks to educate on the legal duties of a fire warden, preventative measures, evacuation procedures, escape routes and fire extinguisher training. This is a vital part of forming an effective fire safety strategy for your organisation.

Fire Warden training (also called Fire Marshal) is necessary for the organisation and ultimately, safety of employees in the event of a fire. Our fire warden training course is just as comprehensive as a physical course – able to be completed within 30 minutes, and will ensure that your organisation is compliant with current fire safety legislation.

An organisation’s responsible person will generally appoint fire wardens whose role is to ensure that implemented fire safety measures are carried out in the event of a fire.
