This qualification is aimed at those required to undertake the role of a fire marshal in the workplace. The qualification builds on the QNUK Level 1 Award in Fire Awareness in the workplace (RQF)
Fire marshals play an important role in supporting an organisation’s fire safety arrangements.
The QNUK Level 2 Award in Fire Safety for Fire Marshals (RQF) is designed for employees who have been appointed, or are preparing to be appointed, as a fire marshal or fire warden within their workplace.
Delivered by SM Safety Training & Consultancy Ltd, this regulated qualification provides learners with a practical understanding of their role and the actions they may be expected to take before, during and following a fire emergency.
Our approach is straightforward and workplace focused. We want learners to understand what being a fire marshal actually means and leave the course feeling confident about carrying out their responsibilities.
This is a regulated Level 2 qualification developed specifically for workplace fire marshals.
The course includes approximately 6 guided learning hours and is normally delivered over 1 day, making it suitable for organisations looking to provide recognised fire marshal training without taking employees away from their normal duties for an extended period.
Successful learners receive a qualification certificate following completion of the course and assessment.
A fire marshal has additional responsibilities beyond those of a general employee.
This course develops learners’ understanding of workplace fire safety while focusing on the responsibilities associated with the fire marshal role.
The training helps learners understand how they can contribute to effective fire prevention, support evacuation arrangements and respond appropriately when a fire alarm is activated or an emergency develops.
Appointing fire marshals is only effective when those individuals understand what is expected of them.
Providing suitable training can help your organisation:
Fire marshal training can also help ensure that the people given additional responsibilities understand where their role begins and how they should work alongside your wider emergency arrangements.
At SM Safety Training, we believe fire marshal training should relate to situations learners may genuinely experience.
Our instructors use practical examples, discussions and workplace scenarios to explain how fire safety arrangements work in practice.
Rather than simply memorising procedures, learners are encouraged to think about how they would respond within their own working environment.
For in-house bookings, there is also an opportunity to relate discussions to your organisation’s arrangements where appropriate.
The qualification is suitable for employees appointed as fire marshals or fire wardens across a wide variety of workplaces.
This may include:
It may also be suitable for supervisors and managers who have additional responsibility for workplace fire safety.
For organisations needing to train several fire marshals, SM Safety Training & Consultancy Ltd can deliver the course directly at your workplace.
In-house delivery can make it easier to train a group of employees together and allows the training to be related more closely to your own working environment.
Benefits of on-site training can include:
We can discuss your requirements and arrange a suitable training date for your organisation.
Learners complete a multiple-choice assessment to demonstrate their understanding of the principles covered during the course.
Successful learners receive their qualification certificate.
The course guidance recommends refreshing fire marshal knowledge approximately every three years, although organisations may choose to provide refresher training more frequently depending on workplace risks, changes to procedures or individual training needs.
For learners looking to develop their fire safety knowledge further, progression may include the QNUK Level 3 Award in Fire Risk Assessment (RQF).
This can be particularly relevant for individuals who are developing broader responsibilities within workplace fire safety or health and safety.
At SM Safety Training & Consultancy Ltd, we want fire marshal training to be useful, practical and easy to understand.
Our instructors focus on explaining how fire safety arrangements work in the real world and what learners may actually be expected to do when carrying out the role.
When you train with us, you can expect:
Our aim is for learners to leave understanding their responsibilities and feeling confident about supporting their organisation’s fire safety arrangements.
