Is this the same as a fire warden course?
Many modules cover warden-style duties—checking exits, raising the alarm, helping evacuation—but always check the course outline for the exact scope.
Do I need a separate fire risk assessment course?
If your role includes assessing premises, choose a course that explicitly covers fire risk assessment rather than general awareness alone.
Are certificates NEBOSH or IOSH accredited?
No. Certificates are independent professional awards from Health Safety Courses for workplace learning—not NEBOSH, IOSH or Ofqual qualifications.
