Building familiarisation

The practical familiarisation walk of your building’s fire escape routes is the most valuable training you can undertake. Accompanied by a Fire Evacuation Marshal, a departmental safety officer or a responsible manager who is familiar with the building and escape routes and using form TN086 as a template.

We suggest that this practical walk of escape routes is carried out in small groups wearing face coverings and social distancing as you progress through the building.

If you are conducting the local fire safety familiarisation walk, you may find our guide TN086a a useful reminder of the requirements.

How do I enrol on a course?

If you are a student, non-UCL employee or haven't used MyLearning before, you will need to create a learning record.

• Go to the centralised UCL learning page and select the course you would like to enrol on  
• Click ‘enrol’ - you will be asked to enter your UCL ID and password. If you don’t already have a MyLearning record this will automatically be created and you will be asked to log in again in the next 5 minutes
• You will be taken to the course page in MyLearning for instructor led courses (‘click enrol’) or directly to the online course
• You will receive notification you have enrolled on the course

A non-UCL employee is anyone who is not on the UCL payroll i.e staff on fixed term contracts, agency staff and contractors. 

The video content is slow or slow to load

This could be due to low bandwidth.  Try closing other applications that you have open or you might have to try again later.  Alternatively, try using another browser such as Chrome.

I have completed the Fire Safety eLearning but it doesn't show on my training record

If you have recently completed the eLearning in Moodle then no further action is required as you will already have a record of training completion. You must still complete a local fire safety induction and building familiarisation.

I've tried everything and it's still not working

Please contact fire@ucl.ac.uk and we will investigate what is preventing you from accessing the training.
