What is the Fire Marshal / Fire Warden Course?
Suitable for businesses across all sectors, this fire marshal course explains the role and responsibilities of a fire marshal, how fires start and spread, and how to implement effective fire safety measures. It also covers fire risk assessments, fire safety equipment, emergency procedures, and evacuation drills.
It is suitable for all workplace environments and industries. There are no entry requirements for this course. No prior fire safety training is required. In UK workplaces the terms fire marshal and fire warden describe the same role — the duties, syllabus and certificate are identical.
Fire marshal training is a legal requirement for businesses that appoint competent persons to manage fire safety. Proper training helps reduce workplace fire risks, protects occupants, and ensures compliance with fire safety law. Upon successful completion, learners receive a Fire Marshal Training Certificate, recognised for workplace compliance and staff training records.
