This course is designed for the designated fire wardens or marshals in a workplace.
While it is not a replacement for practical training in how to use fire extinguishers (which all fire wardens / marshals must receive), our course can be taken as an introduction to using fire extinguishers before you undergo practical training, as well as a refresher after receiving practical instruction.
