Please note, this module is for general fire marshal and warden duties only and does not replace any practical or additional fire marshal or fire warden training, such as fire extinguisher training, and staff should still undergo comprehensive orientation training specific to their own school or academy environment.
The knowledge you will build in the course is relevant to anyone who has taken on the duty of fire marshal or fire warden in a school. It builds on the knowledge from the Handsam Fire Safety in Schools course, so if you haven’t already completed that course, you should do so first. This course dives deeper into the specific roles and responsibilities of marshals and wardens as opposed to general fire safety knowledge.
