Fire Safety Level 1 (Warden/Marshal) – 4 Hour Course
Essential Fire Safety Awareness
The Fire Safety Level 1 (Warden/Marshal) – 4 Hour Course provides an introduction to fire awareness in the workplace and is suitable for employees across a wide range of working environments.
The course explores how workplace fires can occur, how they can be prevented and what employees should do in the event of a fire. It is also an ideal addition to new employee induction programmes and provides a foundation for those looking to progress into more specific fire safety responsibilities, including Fire Warden, Fire Marshal or Fire Steward roles.
Successful learners will achieve a nationally recognised Level 1 qualification, equivalent to Level 4 in Scotland.

Learners are required to successfully complete a test paper to achieve the qualification. Upon successful completion, learners will receive a nationally recognised Level 1 qualification, equivalent to Level 4 in Scotland.
The course can accommodate a maximum of 16 learners, with participants required to be at least 14 years old.
