Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions are essential for Fire Marshal/Warden training to develop hands-on skills in using fire extinguishers, conducting risk assessments, and leading evacuations. These sessions ensure learners can apply theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios.

Practical Activities

• Fire Extinguisher Operation — Learners practice selecting and using different types of fire extinguishers on controlled fires. (4h)
• Fire Risk Assessment Walkthrough — Learners conduct a practical fire risk assessment in a simulated or actual workplace environment. (4h)
• Evacuation Drill Leadership — Learners plan and lead a mock evacuation drill, managing participants and assembly point procedures. (4h)
• Fire Extinguisher Maintenance and Inspection — Learners perform routine inspection and maintenance checks on various fire extinguishers. (4h)
• Emergency Communication and Coordination — Learners practice using emergency communication systems and coordinating with mock emergency services. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
