Fire Safety Awareness Course (Schools and Colleges)

This Fire Safety Awareness Course (Schools and Colleges) identifies fire safety concerns and measures that apply in a school or college setting.

The course explains the conditions which promote fire, how to prevent fires from starting and what to do should a fire break out. It ensures learners are compliant with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010. The course has been updated to cover new guidance that came into effect in October 2023.

Training staff in fire safety helps them to understand the importance of following fire safety measures. After training people are less likely to panic in an emergency. They also know how to act if a fire breaks out and can quickly and safely evacuate the premises.

The online course takes about 1 hour to complete. You can however take as long as you like to complete the training. You can also complete it in several sittings, as your progress is saved at the end of each topic.
