Fire Marshal & Fire Warden Training Chester

We ran a regular programme of public first aid courses in Chester between September 2023 and March 2024, covering Emergency First Aid at Work, First Aid at Work requalification and Paediatric First Aid, and we continue to deliver onsite training across Chester and West Cheshire. In the last two years that has included a visitor attraction, an agricultural business, a manufacturing firm and a language school, with Emergency First Aid at Work and Outdoor and Forest School First Aid the most requested courses.

Our trainer for the area is based in Cheshire West, a short drive from the city, so an onsite course for your team can be arranged at your premises on a date of your choosing. There is no public Chester date on sale at the moment: the nearest public dates are shown below, and registering your interest tells us where the demand is and puts you first in line when a Chester date is added.

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.
