This online Fire Marshal training course makes you aware of the duties and responsibilities of a fire warden / fire marshal.
The course covers the routine duties of a fire marshal (often referred to as a fire warden) and the role they play in emergencies. It includes how the fire marshal can help other workers to evacuate safely, how to check that a building has been evacuated, and what to do once outside the building. It is also important to understand how people react when an alarm sounds and how a sound knowledge of what to do will gain you valuable time in an emergency.
The Fire Marshal course relates to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010.
What is a Fire Marshal?
A fire marshal, or fire warden, plays a key role in fire prevention and the safe evacuation of a building in an emergency.
Fires happen. If your workplace ever faces a fire emergency, having a designated fire warden, appropriately trained, could be key to a good outcome.
Although it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure precautions are in place, it is the role of the fire marshal to run drills and undertake regular fire prevention checks.
Who is Fire Marshal training for?
This online fire marshal course is for anyone who is a fire warden/marshal or has been nominated to become one in their workplace. It is a legal requirement for every employer to nominate competent persons, usually referred to as fire marshals or fire wardens, to assist with the evacuation of other staff members. These fire marshals must be trained when appointed, and they must receive refresher training at regular intervals.
What are the learning outcomes for the online fire marshal training?
After completing the fire marshal course online, you will be able to describe:
- The law that outlines the legal responsibilities for fire safety.
- Who is responsible for fire safety in a work building.
- The main steps in a fire risk assessment.
- The relationship between the fire risk assessment and the duties of the Fire Marshal.

How long is this Fire Marshal certificate valid for?

If you purchase a new licence, you can retake the fire marshal training when the renewal date arrives. This will ensure that you are refreshed in all the learning outcomes and highly knowledgeable in fire marshal responsibilities.

Can this training course act as evidence for SSIP accreditations like CHAS, SafeContractor and ConstructionLine?
Yes, you can use our online fire marshal training course certificate as evidence of industry-related training. This evidence is important for SSIP accreditations. The course helps you to ensure your staff all receive appropriate training and that you have the certificates to prove it. However, each individual accreditation body will decide whether our online courses are sufficient for your company’s training requirements.
The responsibilities of a Fire Marshal
Fire marshals need a good understanding of fire safety and specific fire hazards in their workplace. There are two categories of fire marshal responsibilities: preventative day-to-day duties and duties required in the event of a fire. This online fire marshal training covers both categories.
