How much does Fire Safety training cost?
£4 per person on Care2Learn, with no minimum order and no subscription. If your team needs a full training matrix rather than one course, a subscription at £2 per learner per month covers all 32 courses — see the 2026 price comparison.
Who needs it
Everyone working in a CQC-regulated service, including staff who are not delivering hands-on care, since these duties apply across the whole workplace. Completion is recorded with the date taken and the date it is next due, so it appears correctly on your training matrix and can be evidenced at inspection.
What the learner receives
A certificate in their own name carrying the CPD Aligned seal, showing the completion date and the renewal date a year later, downloadable at any time. The record belongs to the learner, not just the employer — it travels with them rather than sitting in one provider's system.

Frequently asked questions
How long does Fire Safety training take?
About 45 min of e‑learning, across 11 sections with 11 assessment questions. Learners can stop and resume at any point, and it works on a phone.
What does Fire Safety training cover?
By the end of the course a learner should be able to understand fire safety law and your responsibilities; explain the fire triangle and prevent fires in care settings; respond using RACE and support a safe evacuation using PEEPs. The full list of learning outcomes is set out above.
Is Fire Safety CPD Aligned, and how is it assessed?
Yes — the certificate carries the CPD Aligned seal. The assessment is multiple choice with a pass mark of 70%; attempts are recorded and learners can retake it. Renewal is set at 12 months from the completion date, so the course reappears on your training matrix when it is due.
Does this replace fire warden or extinguisher training?
No. It covers the knowledge — the legislation, how fire behaves, prevention, detection, evacuation and your responsibilities. Practical extinguisher use, and the fire warden role, need hands‑on training in your own building and against your own fire risk assessment.
Does this count towards the Care Certificate?
No — this is a standalone mandatory course rather than one of the Care Certificate standards. The Care Certificate is available as its own guided course for staff who are new to care.
