Fire marshal training introduces the role of a workplace fire warden: helping prevent fires and supporting the emergency plan. Wardens need to understand the responsibilities assigned by their employer and receive instruction suited to their premises.
The course covers how fires start, prevention, extinguisher awareness and evacuation. Online study builds knowledge; it should be followed by workplace instruction, drills and any practical training needed for the role. A certificate records completion rather than guaranteeing competence for every situation.
Fire Marshal Training is part of Online CPD Academy, offering online training for UK workplaces. Read our fire safety guides and statistics →
