This online Fire Marshal training course provides essential training for employees who have been appointed as a Fire Marshal or Fire Warden in the workplace. The course explains the key duties and responsibilities of the role, including fire prevention, workplace fire safety checks and how to respond effectively in an emergency.
The Fire Marshal course covers routine responsibilities as well as the important role Fire Marshals and Fire Wardens play during an evacuation. Learners will understand how to help people evacuate safely, check that areas have been cleared, report to the appropriate person at the assembly point and respond appropriately when a fire alarm is raised.
The course helps learners understand their fire safety responsibilities under relevant UK fire safety legislation, including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, and fire safety legislation applicable in Northern Ireland.
Taking approximately 1 hour to complete, the course is delivered entirely online and can be completed at the learner’s own pace. This makes it suitable for both initial and refresher Fire Marshal training.
What is a Fire Marshal?
A Fire Marshal, also known as a Fire Warden, is appointed to help support fire safety in the workplace. Their responsibilities can include identifying and reporting fire hazards, carrying out routine fire safety checks and helping ensure fire safety procedures are followed.
In an emergency, a trained Fire Marshal plays an important role in helping staff and visitors evacuate safely and ensuring workplace evacuation procedures are followed.
For more information about the role and responsibilities, read our guide: What is a Fire Marshal?
In the UK, employers are legally required to provide their staff with appropriate fire safety awareness training.
You should therefore complete this training before starting the Fire Marshal course, as it provides the essential fire safety knowledge on which the course builds.

Fire Marshal training is suitable for employees who have been appointed as a Fire Marshal or Fire Warden, as well as anyone who has additional responsibility for fire safety within the workplace.

The course is suitable for Fire Marshals and Fire Wardens working in a wide range of environments, including offices, shops, warehouses, factories, schools, healthcare settings, hospitality businesses and other workplaces.

Fire Marshal Training for Different Workplaces
Fire Marshals and Fire Wardens may be appointed in a wide range of workplaces, including offices, retail premises, warehouses, factories, schools, healthcare settings, hospitality venues and construction sites.
The specific fire risks and evacuation procedures will vary depending on the workplace. Factors such as the size and layout of the premises, number of employees and visitors, fire hazards and the needs of people who may require assistance during an evacuation can all affect workplace fire safety arrangements.
Fire Marshal training helps appointed employees understand the principles of fire prevention, routine fire safety checks and emergency evacuation. Learners can then apply this knowledge alongside the fire safety procedures and arrangements in place within their own workplace.
How is the Fire Marshal Course assessed?
There are 20 questions in the assessment. You can take the assessment once you have completed all six topics. The questions will be different each time you take the assessment.
There is no limit on the number of attempts at the assessment. Your staff can take the assessment as often as they need to. The course gives useful feedback so candidates can learn from any incorrect responses and grow their knowledge on the subject.

UK fire safety legislation does not specifically require every workplace to appoint someone with the title of Fire Marshal or Fire Warden. However, employers are legally required to have appropriate fire safety arrangements in place and ensure employees receive suitable fire safety information, instruction and training.
Appointing trained Fire Marshals or Fire Wardens can form part of these arrangements, helping organisations manage fire risks and support safe evacuation procedures in an emergency.
There is no fixed legal requirement. The number of Fire Marshals needed depends on factors such as building size, occupancy levels, layout, shift patterns and fire risk assessment findings.
In most UK workplaces, the terms Fire Marshal and Fire Warden are used interchangeably. Both describe individuals appointed to support fire safety procedures and emergency evacuations.
The Online Fire Marshal Training course takes approximately 1 hour to complete. The course is entirely online and self-paced, so learners can work through the training at a time and pace that suits them.
