Fire Safety Training FAQ

Is Fire Safety Training Required for Child and Senior Care Professionals in Georgia?

Yes, Fire Safety training and certification is required for both child care and senior care professionals in Georgia by the Georgia Fire Marshal Office, Bright From the Start, and the Department of Community Health. Read more about the laws and regulations here.

Is Online Fire Safety Training Okay?

Yes, online fire safety is approved by the fire marshal’s office if it is given by a live OCI-Certified Caregiver Instructor. Meaning, it must be given via a video call software like Zoom or Google Meet with a live instructor who is ‌approved by the fire marshal’s office.

However, it is not approved to have at your own pace Fire Safety training that isn’t done with a live instructor. This type of asynchronous training can be tempting since it is often cheaper, but it will not get you the certification the fire marshal requires.

All of our online trainings are done with a live OCI-Certified instructor via Zoom and meets all the same requirements as in person training from the comfort of your home.
