Fire safety awareness training
Also known as: fire safety training, Level 1 Award in Fire Safety Awareness
The Nuco Level 1 Award in Fire Safety Awareness: a 4-hour course for every member of staff.
About the course
Everyone at work should know how fires start and what to do if one breaks out. This 4-hour Level 1 Award, delivered through Nuco Training and awarded by First Aid Awards, gives every member of staff that grounding, and is an excellent part of an induction for new starters. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, employers must make sure staff receive adequate fire safety training. For staff taking on a fire marshal or warden role, see our Level 2 fire marshal course.

Reviews
What our trainees say
Recently, our fitting team attended Platform/Tower training organised by Pole Position Training. From the initial enquiry, the process was smooth and easy. The details of the course were sent through with plenty of notice and instructions for the day clear and concise. We will definitely be using them again for any training needs we have.
We were really impressed with the Health & Safety Awareness training delivered by Peter Pole at our offices. His approach was clear, engaging and informative and he kept the team fully involved throughout. The session was a valuable refresher and helped reinforce a strong safety first mindset across the workforce. Thanks again, Peter
A very informative and perfectly tutored course. Peter is the perfect tutor and will walk you through all steps of a course for you to pass.
Fire safety awareness training: your questions answered
How much does a fire safety awareness course cost?
It depends on the number of delegates and whether we deliver at our Meopham centre or on your site. Group bookings are usually better value per person. Call 0330 122 4427 or send an enquiry for a clear quote with no hidden costs.
Where does the training take place?
On your site anywhere in Kent, London and across the UK, or at our training centre at Crab Tree Close, Meopham, Kent TN15 7JL.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes. Everyone who successfully completes the course receives a certificate.
Is this the same as fire marshal training?
No. This course is for every member of staff. People taking on a fire marshal or fire warden role need our Level 2 fire marshal and fire warden course, which goes further into prevention, evacuation and using extinguishers.
Can you train a whole team at once?
Yes. We regularly train groups and companies, at our Meopham centre or on your site. Group and multi-course discounts are available, so contact us for a quote.
How does payment work?
Scheduled courses booked online are paid by card when you book. For quoted group or on-site training there's no deposit: payment is due 7 days before the course, or on the day.
