Fire Marshal & Fire Warden Training Birmingham

First Aid For All has four trainers based in and around Birmingham, including the Black Country, and in the last year they have delivered onsite Paediatric First Aid, Emergency First Aid at Work and First Aid for Mental Health courses for a specialist care provider, a city-centre bar and a recruitment business. Onsite training is how we work in the West Midlands: the trainer comes to your premises, the course runs on a date that suits your team, and everything from the two-day paediatric qualification to a mental health first aid course can be arranged.

We do not currently schedule public course dates in Birmingham. If you need to train one or two people rather than a group, register your interest below and we will contact you when a Birmingham public date is arranged. Our current public dates are all in the north west and are listed below.

This is a 1 day/ 6 hour Fire Marshal inc Fire Warden training course
This is a more in-depth course than the fire warden training and it is aimed at people who are going to be managing staff in their role as a fire safety person (fire warden) in the workplace.

This course also covers the 3 hour Fire Warden course syllabus. This can be delivered in the first 3 hours of the course.  You can have some people just attend the first 3 hours to be a Fire Warden and have others stay for the full day to be a Fire Marshal.

Learners will come away with a good understanding of managing fire risks and threats and be able to apply this knowledge to their specific workplace and the fire safety staff they are managing.
