Fire Warden Training

The course is intended for employees nominated as fire wardens, with the aim of ensuring they receive formal instruction on fire warden duties and have a greater understanding of all aspects of fire safety in their workplace.

What does the course consist of?

• The course consists of a mixture of classroom-based learning, practical demonstration, and the opportunity for all delegates to use an extinguisher on a real fire. It goes into more detail regarding the duties and responsibilities of a fire warden than our standard fire awareness course.

• The classroom- based training consists of a PowerPoint presentation covering all topics detailed in the course contents, training videos, and additional industry insight from the extensive experience of our trainers.

• The live demonstration and delegate practical participation utilises our environmentally friendly gas fuelled fire tray.

• The training can even be tailored to meet any additional specific client requirements

• The course materials provided include a certificate of attendance, presentation hand-outs, pocket guides for identifying the different escape routes, fire safety signs, and fire extinguishers.

Number of candidates:

The Fire Awareness course allows up to 10 candidates to be trained at the same time, with a running time of approximately 3 hours. We also offer training to individuals or smaller groups where allowing different organisations to share the cost of the course. Please contact us for more details.
