About course

Fire safety is a critical responsibility in every school, where even minor hazards can lead to serious incidents. Inadequate prevention measures and unclear evacuation procedures can compromise the wellbeing of pupils and staff. Our CPD-accredited fire safety training for schools provides essential knowledge to recognise risks and prepare for unexpected situations.

This fire safety online course is designed for headteachers, teachers, teaching assistants, school administrators, fire wardens, premises managers and health and safety coordinators. It also benefits nursery practitioners, SEN support staff, school governors and after-school club coordinators who want to develop their understanding of fire prevention and emergency preparedness in educational settings.

Throughout this fire safety awareness training, you will explore key modules from fire prevention to emergency evacuation planning. The modules cover core topics, including alarm systems, fire suppression, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and crisis communication. You will develop skills to identify potential hazards, support safe evacuations and respond confidently to emergencies in schools.
