This RoSPA-approved and CPD-accredited online course covers the essentials of UK fire safety law, the most common causes of workplace fires, the fire safety equipment in your building — from extinguishers and fire blankets to fire doors and alarms — and the evacuation procedures that keep people safe.

The course combines clear explanations, real workplace examples and short interactive checks — making sure every employee finishes with the knowledge to act fast and clearly when an alarm sounds.
Fire awareness training is for everyone in the workplace. It's different from fire warden (or fire marshal) training, which prepares specifically appointed staff to lead an evacuation and carry out fire safety checks under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Most workplaces need both — wardens at the front of the response, every other employee trained to support them and act safely.
Our Fire Awareness Training course is fully RoSPA approved and CPD accredited — two of the most widely recognised UK accreditations for workplace fire safety training. The course covers what the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 expects of every member of staff and gives every learner the practical knowledge to play their part in keeping people safe.
Fire awareness is the foundation of fire safety in any workplace. Whether you're in an office, a warehouse, a kitchen or a school, knowing what to do in the first minute of a fire saves lives. This course equips every employee to:
Taking this course helps learners:
Completing this course supports your employer's compliance under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, demonstrates that staff have received basic fire safety training, and gives every learner the confidence to act fast and clearly in an emergency.
The course is divided into five short, interactive modules:
1. Introduction to Fire Safety
2. How Fires Start, Spread and Are Prevented
3. Fire Safety Equipment in Your Workplace
4. Evacuation Procedures and Escape Routes
5. Fire Safety Law and Your Responsibilities
Each module includes interactive elements and short reviews to reinforce learning and prepare you for the final assessment.
At the end of the course there is a short final assessment in multiple-choice format. You'll need 75% to pass. If you don't pass first time, retakes are completely free of charge — there's no limit on attempts and no extra cost.
Once you've passed, your RoSPA-approved, CPD-accredited fire awareness certificate is issued instantly and is available to download and print straight from your account — ready for staff records, audits and your fire safety file.
This course is the everyone-in-the-building fire awareness training your workplace needs. It is suitable for:
Office, retail and hospitality teams
Warehouse, factory and industrial site staff
Care home, school, university and healthcare employees
Catering, kitchen and food production teams
Any new starter as part of a fire safety induction
Self-employed workers and small-business teams
Looking for fire warden or fire marshal training? For staff specifically appointed to lead evacuations and carry out additional duties under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, see our separate Fire Warden Training course.
Fire awareness training is for everyone in the workplace — the basic knowledge every employee needs to recognise risks, raise the alarm, and evacuate safely. Fire warden (or fire marshal) training is for specifically appointed staff who lead evacuations, check equipment, and have additional duties under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Most workplaces need both. We offer Fire Warden Training as a separate course.
For most UK workplaces, yes. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places a duty on the 'responsible person' — usually the employer — to provide adequate fire safety training to all employees. This course is designed to satisfy that requirement for general staff awareness.
Most learners complete the course in around 90 minutes. You can pause and come back at any time — your progress is saved automatically.
Every employee in your organisation. From office staff to warehouse workers, kitchen teams to care home staff — anyone who could be in the building when a fire alarm sounds needs basic fire awareness.
Retakes are completely free of charge. There's no limit on attempts and no extra cost.
Yes. A RoSPA-approved, CPD-accredited fire awareness certificate is issued instantly on completion of the course and is downloadable from your account.
The certificate doesn't have an expiry date — once you've passed, it's yours. We recommend refreshing your fire awareness training every 3 years, or sooner if your premises, fire safety arrangements, or job change significantly.
No. There are no entry requirements. The course explains everything from first principles — fire safety law, common hazards, the equipment in your building, alarms and evacuation procedures.
