Overview

Fire Marshal for Homes/fully approved/Interactive video based e-learning course/Quiz based assessment

A fire marshal is a person responsible for operations relating to fire safety and training. The fire marshal visits care homes regularly to check fire extinguishers, carry out drills, and train residents on the correct use of fire safety equipment. This job can be very demanding and requires good leadership skills. The role of a Fire Marshal can vary depending on the size of the home, so you must find out what kind of care home you will be working in before applying for this position.

You must be aware of your duties as a fire marshal. Care homes in the UK often have Alzheimer's Disease or dementia residents, making it very difficult for emergency services to gain access. Fire marshals are responsible for checking fire safety, evacuation plans, and preventing fires in care homes. If you do not know your responsibilities as a fire marshal for social care homes, then this Fire Marshal for care homes video training course is for you. If you are responsible for any care home in the UK, you should ensure that your property complies with local fire safety laws.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
