Fire Warden/Marshal Course
Our 3-hour Fire Warden/Marshal course provides the information and practical training your fire wardens need to fulfil their roles and responsibilities within your organisation.
Who Is The Course For?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the “responsible person” to appoint one or more competent individuals to help implement fire prevention and protection measures, often carried out by Fire Wardens/Marshals.
In addition to dedicated Fire Wardens, you may also want to send other staff members to strengthen their fire safety knowledge.
Our Fire Warden course meets the requirements of the Fire Safety Order concerning your legal duties to train ‘competent individuals’.
Where Can I Attend The Course?
We run the course at your workplace, or can arrange it locally for you.
Duration Of Course
The Fire Warden Course is approximately 3 hours.
It typically includes a 2-hour classroom-based theory session, followed by a 30-minute practical session on using fire extinguishers.
Finally, delegates complete a short multiple-choice test and provide course feedback.
This ensures delegates understand the key aspects of the training.

Theory sessions take place in a suitable meeting room, training room, or lounge.
The practical session takes place in a suitable outside area (approximately the area of three car parking spaces) away from buildings.
We will bring all appropriate training equipment (including fire extinguishers).
