Fire Marshal & Fire Warden Training Preston

Preston has more First Aid For All trainers living locally than anywhere outside Greater Manchester, with four in the city and another on the Fylde, and one of them has delivered more than thirty courses for us in the last two years. Onsite courses in Preston in that time have included a firm of solicitors, a residential care service, a food producer, a catering business and a sports club, most of them Emergency First Aid at Work, with Fire Marshal and the three-day First Aid at Work course also delivered locally.

We ran a public course in Preston in December 2023 and would like to run more. While there is no Preston date currently on sale, the nearest scheduled public dates are listed below with their distance from the city, and registering your interest is the quickest way to bring a public course back to Preston.

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.
