The Level 2 Award in the Principles of Fire Safety qualification is designed to provide the underpinning knowledge for learners to operate safely in the workplace with regards to fire safety. It is aimed at staff who have recently been appointed, or who intend to be appointed to the role of Fire Marshal/Warden in the workplace.
If you do not need this level of training and knowledge, you may wish to take training that provides specific information relevant to your role, such as our Level 1 Award in the Principles of Fire Safety Awareness training course.
This Fire Warden (Fire Marshal) Training course is suitable for anyone who will be taking on the role of fire warden (fire marshal) in
their workplace. Anyone at any level can take it and no previous knowledge is required - it covers the basics of fire safety and then
goes into more detail about the specific fire safety responsibilities of fire wardens. It will educate you about what your duties are
and how to fulfil them.
Be aware that fire wardens should also receive practical training in the use of fire extinguishers to supplement this training course
as found here.
The Level 2 Award in the Principles of Fire Safety course is delivered in a classroom and there is a mix of theory and practical elements required to successfully complete the course. We will deliver the course In-House at your site for a group of employees.
