About this course
This Fire Warden Training in Education Programme has been written for designated employees within schools, colleges and other educational institutes.
A complete in-depth Fire Warden e-learning course designed to equip you with the knowledge you need to become a fully trained Fire Warden or Fire Marshal in a school. This course provides everything you need to demonstrate competence in this designated role.
This course is broken down into 5 easy-to-follow sections: the background of fire and how it spreads, preventing fire and the need for emergency plans, fire evacuation procedures, the extinguishers (and classes of fire) and the relevant legislation.
Assigning Fire Warden duties to a responsible person in your school is a key part of ensuring good health and safety, and demonstrates a commitment to implementing sound emergency fire procedures. In addition to this, we provide a range of additional Fire Safety training courses to further your employee’s understanding of fire safety in the workplace.

very good course
The course brought things back and refreshed my memory.
Good and simple
Easy to follow videos
Concise and informative
Thanks
Best on-line course I've completed
This was an excellent on-line course. Each section conveyed the information clearly, efficiently and effectively. Although quite long it never dragged. All presenters were excellent. The live action sections (extinguishers) were good. The two videos ((i) human behaviour when an alarm goes off and (ii) the arson attack on the sweet shop both really interesting and helpful).
Great Course
Very concise and I now feel I have the knowledge to go forward for fire drills and induction training for new staff and current staff.
Excellent training. Thank you

Very useful tips overall.
A comprehensive, easy to understand training course.
Clear but inflexible and one poor qn
Presentation was clear. Largely questions in test were sensible although there was one asking how many serious fires there are in schools in the UK per year. This is a poor question because a) it is irrelevant to how you act in the case of a fire and b) different sources say different numbers (presumably as the word serious is undefined). Other training providers are more text based which has the advantage of allowing the trainee to go at their own pace and therefore focus on the areas that they need.
Why is this training important?
Compliance
It's important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
It is a legal requirement that your establishment appoints a Fire Warden (or 'Fire Marshal'). The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 clearly states that a competent person with the appropriate skills, knowledge and training should be present and capable of following the correct emergency procedures should they become necessary.
The responsible person (property owner, company director etc) must, where necessary, nominate competent persons to implement those measures and ensure that the number of such persons, their training and the equipment available to them are adequate, taking into account the size of, and the specific hazards involved in, the premises concerned...
