Who is fire extinguisher awareness training for?
Fire marshals must receive practical training on how to use fire extinguishers. This course is a good introduction to the use of fire extinguishers before you start practical training. It is also a useful resource for fire extinguisher refresher training.
All employees will benefit from up-to-date knowledge of the different types of fire extinguishers. Note, however, that it is not a legal requirement for employees to complete fire extinguisher training.
In addition to fire extinguisher training, we provide a wealth of online fire safety courses. See how your business can benefit from additional fire safety knowledge by viewing all our courses.

The assessment contains 20 questions that are taken from question banks. This course is suitable for initial and refresher training because the questions change each time a learner takes the fire extinguisher assessment.

How long is this fire extinguisher awareness certificate valid for?
Your fire extinguisher training certificate includes a recommended renewal date rather than an expiry date. To maintain knowledge of the types of fire extinguisher and their uses, we recommend the training is retaken annually.
To renew your certificate just purchase a new licence before your renewal date arrives. We will then refresh your account so you can retake the training. There is no set time to take the assessment – course participants can complete this at any time.
