Fire Marshal (or Fire Warden) training covers your legal fire safety responsibilities on site or in the workplace — from prevention to running an evacuation. Most sites need at least one trained marshal per shift.
Anyone nominated as a fire marshal or fire warden under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Most construction sites and workplaces need at least one trained marshal present per shift, more on larger sites.
Fire safety law, common causes of fire on site, fire prevention, correct use of fire extinguishers, raising the alarm, evacuation procedures, and assembly point management. It is a practical, hands-on course.
Most Fire Marshal courses run half a day in a classroom, or as a short online module (2–3 hours). There is no formal exam — assessment is usually via a short multiple-choice check and practical extinguisher demonstration.
Prices typically range from £35 (online) to £95 (classroom, with hands-on extinguisher practice).
Certificates are typically valid for 3 years, though many employers refresh annually as best practice. Check your employer's policy — there is no single legal renewal period set by law.
