Level 1 Fire Safety Awareness

Course Duration

The Level 1 Fire Safety Awareness Distance Learning qualification has 2 assigned guided learning hours (GLH) and 5 hours total qualification time (TQT).

GLH indicates the number of contact  hours that the learner will have with the trainer/assessor. TQT includes GLH but considers unsupervised learning and is an estimate of how long the average learner will take to achieve the qualification.

Learners will be provided with learning materials and guidance to undertake independent study and research. It is beneficial for the learner to undertake additional independent learning for example by doing research on the internet.

The qualification provides learners with an understanding of the key principles of fire safety from cause to prevention and response, and is useful in the development of fire marshals.
