Understanding the basics

What is Fire Marshal Training?

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 →

Who needs one

Fire safety training for every workplace

In England and Wales, the responsible person must arrange appropriate fire safety measures, staff instruction and training under the Fire Safety Order. The people assigned fire safety duties need suitable training and competence. Scotland and Northern Ireland have separate legislation.

Offices & retail

Designated wardens, office managers and floor leads in any commercial premises.

Schools & education

Teachers, caretakers and site staff responsible for pupils and visitors during an evacuation.

Warehouses & factories

Supervisors and operatives in higher-risk industrial and storage environments.

Healthcare & care homes

Staff supporting vulnerable people who may need Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans.

Construction sites

Site managers and operatives managing hot works and temporary fire risks.

Hospitality & venues

Pubs, hotels, restaurants and event spaces with members of the public on site.

Plan for your premises. There is no five-employee threshold for fire safety training. Decide the number of trained people from your risks, layout, occupancy and working patterns, with cover for absences. Article 18 of the Fire Safety Order sets out the competence and staffing requirements in England and Wales.
