Fire Marshal Training

Fire marshal (or fire warden) training that prepares the people responsible for fire safety and safe evacuation in your workplace. Take it online at each learner's own pace, or have us deliver a trainer-led group session at your premises — whichever suits your team.

Course overview

An in-depth look at the course

Fire Marshal Training (also called fire warden training) prepares the people responsible for fire safety and safe evacuation in your workplace. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, employers must have enough competent people to help everyone leave safely — fire marshals are how that duty is met in practice.

You can train your marshals two ways. Online is the quickest and usually the easiest option — each learner works through the modules at their own pace and receives a certificate on completion, priced per learner with no minimum. Or we can run a trainer-led session at your premises, which adds the option of practical, hands-on fire-extinguisher training and a walk-through of your own building's evacuation routes.

Certification

Assessment & certification

Online learners complete an assessment built into the e-learning and receive a certificate on completion. On-site, the trainer confirms understanding during the session and issues certificates to the group. Both routes provide a recognised fire marshal certificate for your training records; the on-site option additionally allows hands-on extinguisher practice where you need it.

Delivery

Two ways to train: online or on-site

There are two ways to take this course. Online, learners simply log in and work through the modules whenever it suits, on a computer, tablet or phone — priced per learner with no minimum, so you only pay for the people you enrol. On-site, our trainer comes to your premises and delivers the session as a group, with the option to add practical fire-extinguisher use and to base the evacuation guidance on your own building. On-site group training starts from £495 +VAT for up to 12 people.
