Castle Hill Training provides practical evacuation chair training for businesses, schools, care providers and other organisations throughout Barnsley.
Our instructor comes to your premises and trains your staff using your own evacuation chair and, where suitable, the staircases within your building. This gives delegates experience with the equipment and surroundings they may need to use during a real evacuation.

Training with Your Own Evacuation Chair
Evacuation chairs vary in their design, controls and operating method. Staff should therefore be familiar with the particular equipment provided within their workplace.
During the course, delegates learn how to prepare, operate and return your chair to storage correctly. Wherever it is safe and practical, they also gain supervised experience of controlling the chair on a suitable staircase.
Training at your premises allows the instructor to consider:
This makes the training directly relevant to your organisation rather than being a general demonstration on unfamiliar equipment.
What Delegates Learn
The course normally includes:
Delegates receive practical instruction and supervised practice before completing an assessment of their ability to operate the chair safely.
No previous experience is required.
The course is suitable for new operators and for experienced staff who need to refresh their practical skills.
Assessment and Certification
Every delegate has an opportunity to practise using the evacuation chair under the instructor’s supervision.
Those who demonstrate the required level of competence receive a Castle Hill Training certificate. Assessment and certification are included in the course price, providing your organisation with a record of the staff trained to operate the equipment.
The course generally takes between two and three hours. The precise duration depends on the number of delegates, the chair model, the building and the amount of practical instruction required.
Before the Training Takes Place
To get the greatest value from the session, the evacuation chair should be accessible and in working condition when the instructor arrives.
We also recommend identifying a suitable staircase and ensuring that staff attending the course can be released for the complete session. If there are any concerns about the chair, staircase or proposed participants, please tell us when making your enquiry.
The instructor will review the practical arrangements before training begins and will not use equipment or a location considered unsuitable for safe practice.
Evacuation Chair Training for Care Homes
Care homes and other residential services may need to plan for residents, visitors or staff who cannot use stairs independently during an emergency.
Our training can be related to your fire procedures, staffing arrangements and the location of evacuation equipment within the home. It can also help nominated staff understand where operation of an evacuation chair fits within the organisation’s wider evacuation arrangements.
You can find our other courses for care providers on the Care Home Training page.
Combine Evacuation Chair and Fire Warden Training
Evacuation chair instruction can be combined with Fire Warden Training for organisations that need both subjects.
A combined course normally takes approximately five hours and covers the responsibilities of Fire Wardens alongside practical evacuation-chair operation.
Please mention this when requesting your quotation so that we can recommend an appropriate programme.
