01

What is Fire Extinguisher Training?

The course covers the fire triangle, fire classification (Classes A, B, C, D, Electrical, and F), the different types of fire extinguishers (water, foam, CO2, dry powder, and wet chemical), and the PASS technique (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep). It also covers fire risk assessment, emergency evacuation procedures, and compliance with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and 2003. Whether you work in an office, retail, healthcare, construction, or any other sector, Fire Extinguisher Training ensures you have the knowledge and confidence to respond safely in a fire emergency.

Upon successful completion, you receive a CPD and RoSPA accredited certificate instantly, with no need to attend a classroom or schedule an appointment.

03

Fire Extinguisher Certificate & CPD Compliance

Upon completing the Fire Extinguisher course, you receive a professionally issued certificate that is both CPD (Continuing Professional Development) accredited and RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) approved. Your certificate is valid for 3 years and is fully recognised by employers, health and safety inspectors, and regulatory bodies across the UK and the EU. The certification demonstrates that you have been trained in fire classification, extinguisher selection, the PASS technique, fire risk assessment, and emergency evacuation procedures. It is ideal for meeting HSE compliance requirements, satisfying insurance obligations, or fulfilling employer-mandated fire safety training requirements.

04

Fire Extinguisher Refresher Training

Fire Extinguisher refresher training is required every 3 years to keep your certification current and ensure your knowledge reflects the latest fire safety regulations and industry practices. Our online refresher course covers updated legislation, revised best practices for extinguisher selection and use, advances in fire suppression technology, and evolving standards from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). The refresher takes approximately 45 minutes to complete and issues a new CPD and RoSPA accredited certificate upon passing. Staying current with your Fire Extinguisher refresher training protects both employees and employers from regulatory penalties and, most importantly, ensures your team can respond effectively in a fire emergency.

07

Is Fire Extinguisher Training Required by Law in the UK?

Yes. Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and 2003, employers in the UK are legally required to ensure that employees are trained in fire safety procedures, including the use of fire extinguishers. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) mandates that employers conduct fire risk assessments, maintain firefighting equipment, and provide appropriate fire safety training. Failure to comply can result in significant fines, legal prosecution, and liability for fire-related incidents. Completing a certified Fire Extinguisher course demonstrates due diligence and fulfils your legal obligations as an employer or employee in the UK.

08

How Long is a Fire Extinguisher Certificate Valid For?

Your Fire Extinguisher certificate is valid for 3 years from the date of issue. After this period, you are required to complete a Fire Extinguisher refresher course to renew your certification. The 3-year validity period aligns with HSE recommendations and industry best practice across the UK and the EU. We recommend setting a reminder for your renewal date so you never experience a gap in certification. Employers should maintain a training register to track certificate expiry dates for all staff. Our system sends renewal reminders automatically, making it easy to stay compliant and ensuring your team is always covered with valid, up-to-date Fire Extinguisher certification.

09
