Questions about Global Fire Safety training

How long is the Fire Safety course?

It's made up of 6 microlessons, each under 5 minutes. Learners can finish it in one sitting or spread it over a few days, and 5Mins sends reminders until it is done.

Is there a certificate?

Yes. Learners get a certificate of completion once they finish the microlessons and pass the situational tests with a score of 90% or more. The record is stored in 5Mins for audits.

Is this course for a specific country?

No. It's designed for global teams and covers universal fire safety principles and international signage. 5Mins also has Fire Safety (UK), built around UK fire safety law.

Does this course train fire wardens?

It explains emergency response roles during an evacuation. Fire wardens usually need extra role-specific training, and 5Mins also has a Fire Wardens (UK) course.

Who needs fire safety training?

Every employee. Everyone should know how fires start, how to raise the alarm, how to evacuate safely and where to go.

How often should staff take fire safety training?

Your local law and your fire risk assessment set the schedule. In 5Mins you can set the course to repeat, for example every 12 months, so refreshers happen automatically.
