Practical fire marshal and fire warden training for UK workplaces.
Give your team the knowledge and confidence to help prevent fires, support a safe evacuation and carry out their workplace fire safety responsibilities effectively.
Phoenix Fire & Safety provides engaging fire marshal training delivered by experienced operational firefighters. Courses are available at your workplace throughout the UK or as an instructor-led online session.

Being appointed as a fire marshal involves more than wearing a high-visibility vest or checking rooms during a fire drill.
Your fire marshals need to understand the hazards within their workplace, the precautions that help prevent a fire and the actions they should take if the alarm sounds. They must also understand the limits of their role and know when their priority should be raising the alarm, assisting evacuation and calling the fire and rescue service.
Our fire marshal course turns fire safety theory into practical knowledge that your staff can use in a real workplace.
The training uses clear explanations, workplace examples and operational experience from the fire service. We avoid unnecessary jargon and encourage attendees to ask questions about the situations they may realistically encounter.
Attendees will learn about the routine and emergency responsibilities commonly assigned to fire marshals, including inspections, hazard reporting, supporting drills, assisting evacuation and communicating relevant information.
We explain the fire triangle, common causes of workplace fires and the ways heat, flames and smoke can spread through a building.
Understanding basic fire behaviour helps attendees recognise why measures such as closed fire doors, clear escape routes and effective housekeeping are so important.
The course explains the purpose of important fire safety measures, including:
Attendees will learn about the common types of fire extinguisher, how they are identified and the types of fire for which they may be suitable.
The course also reinforces an important principle: nobody should place themselves at risk or attempt to fight a fire when escape is the safer option.
Practical fire extinguisher training can be added to an on-site course where suitable.
Attendees will learn the immediate actions to take if they discover a fire, including raising the alarm, alerting others, initiating the workplace emergency procedure and contacting the fire and rescue service.
Your team will learn how fire marshals can support fire drills, identify problems during an evacuation and help ensure that important findings are reported and recorded.
Our fire marshal training is suitable for employees who have been appointed, or are about to be appointed, as workplace fire marshals or fire wardens.
It can also benefit:
We deliver training for offices, warehouses, shops, schools, nurseries, care settings, hospitality venues, construction businesses and other workplaces.
No previous fire safety qualification is required.

On-site training allows your team to learn together at their normal workplace. This can make the training more relevant because questions can be discussed in the context of your premises, activities and emergency arrangements.
On-site courses are available throughout the UK for groups of up to 16 attendees.
Please allow up to three hours for the standard course.
Evening and weekend courses are available for an additional charge, subject to trainer availability.
Our instructor-led virtual fire marshal training is a convenient option for businesses with remote employees, multiple locations or teams that cannot easily attend the same physical venue.
Unlike a self-directed video course, attendees can engage with the instructor, ask questions and discuss how the principles apply to their workplace.
Online training is available for groups of up to 20 attendees.
Price: From £400 + VAT for up to 20 attendees.
Where site-specific practical knowledge is particularly important, an on-site course may be more appropriate. We can help you decide which delivery method best suits your organisation.


A practical fire extinguisher session can be added to suitable on-site courses for £150 + VAT.
This gives attendees an opportunity to handle and operate training equipment under controlled conditions while reinforcing the circumstances in which attempting to use an extinguisher may or may not be appropriate.
Every workplace has different hazards, occupants and emergency arrangements. If you require training developed around your organisation, we can create a bespoke package incorporating your procedures, policies or sector-specific risks.
Bespoke packages are available from:
Sessions booked after the first, which includes the course creation fee, are priced at standard fire marshal course prices.
Contact us to discuss your requirements and receive a tailored quotation.

Everyone who successfully completes the standard course receives a Phoenix Fire & Safety certificate of completion.
Accredited certification is also available if required. Please tell us when requesting your quotation if your organisation requires an accredited Level 2 qualification, as this must be agreed as part of the booking.
Our instructors bring genuine operational knowledge and experience into the training room. This allows us to explain not only what people should do, but why those actions matter during a real emergency.
We make fire safety understandable and relevant. The course is interactive, practical and designed to keep learners engaged.
Our group pricing allows you to train up to 16 people on-site or up to 20 people online for one quoted price.
Choose training at your workplace or online. Evening, weekend and bespoke sessions are also available.
We provide fire marshal and fire warden training for organisations throughout the UK, subject to availability.

The terms “fire marshal” and “fire warden” are often used interchangeably in UK workplaces. Individual organisations may divide the responsibilities differently, but our course covers the essential prevention and evacuation responsibilities associated with both roles.
There is no single number that is suitable for every organisation. The number should be determined through your fire risk assessment and should take account of the size and layout of the premises, the number of occupants, the level of risk, shift patterns, holidays, sickness and anyone who may need help evacuating.
Please allow up to three hours for the standard course. Bespoke sessions or courses with practical fire extinguisher training may take longer.
There is no universal statutory expiry date for every fire marshal certificate. However, knowledge and workplace arrangements should be kept up to date. Refresher training should be considered periodically and following significant changes to the premises, risks, emergency procedures or a person’s responsibilities.
Yes. We deliver on-site fire marshal training for groups of up to 16 people throughout the UK, subject to availability.
Yes. We provide instructor-led virtual training for groups of up to 20 people. Online training covers the essential theory and allows attendees to interact with the instructor. Practical fire extinguisher use is only available with suitable on-site training.
Fire extinguisher awareness is included in the standard course. A hands-on practical extinguisher session can be added to suitable on-site bookings for £150 + VAT.
The training can support your organisation in meeting its fire safety responsibilities, but no individual course can guarantee overall compliance. Your organisation must also maintain an appropriate fire risk assessment, emergency plan, fire precautions, equipment testing, evacuation arrangements and staff training programme.
Request a date and time and we will be in touch within 24 hours, to confirm the slot and cost.
