You can do Martyn's Law training online in the UK with Lift College's Martyn's Law Training course. It is 1.5 hours of learning in 4 short modules, covering what the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 is and why it was passed, which premises and events are in scope, the standard tier for 200 to 799 people and the enhanced tier for 800 or more, who the responsible person is, the four public protection procedures, what the enhanced tier adds, the Security Industry Authority's role as regulator, and how to prepare before commencement. It costs £19.99, pay once, and your accredited CPD certificate is ready the same day you pass. Lift College recommends a refresh every 12 months, and the refresher is free.
The Act, commonly called Martyn's Law after Martyn Hett, who was killed in the Manchester Arena attack, received Royal Assent on 3 April 2025. The Home Office factsheets say the implementation period is expected to be at least 24 months from that date and that there is no legal requirement to comply until the Act is brought into force by regulations. The section 27 statutory guidance was published on 15 April 2026. Qualifying premises are those where 200 or more individuals, including staff, may reasonably be expected to be present at the same time; 200 to 799 is the standard tier and 800 or more the enhanced tier. Qualifying events need 800 or more.
For the standard tier the Act asks for appropriate public protection procedures, so far as is reasonably practicable: evacuation, invacuation, lockdown and communication, with the people working at the premises made aware of them. It does not require physical alterations or new equipment, and the Home Office says there is no statutory requirement to buy specific training. This course teaches staff and responsible persons what the Act asks, so that the procedures a venue writes can be understood and carried out; it is awareness, not a substitute for the venue's own procedures or for the statutory guidance.
- Explain what the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 does, when it received Royal Assent and that it is not yet in force
- Identify whether premises or an event are likely to qualify, and which tier, using the 200 and 800 thresholds
- Describe who the responsible person is and the duty to notify the Security Industry Authority
- Describe the four public protection procedures: evacuation, invacuation, lockdown and communication
- Apply 'appropriate and reasonably practicable' to a shop, a restaurant or a venue of your own
- Summarise what the enhanced tier adds: public protection measures, a document and a designated senior individual
- Know where the section 27 statutory guidance and ProtectUK resources are and how to prepare before commencement
4 short modules, 1.5 hours in total.

What our learners say
Stories from Lift College learners on our qualifications, in their own words.
“I had been a care assistant for four years without a formal qualification. Lift College made the whole process straightforward, my assessor visited regularly and I completed my Level 3 Diploma in Adult Care in just over a year. I was promoted to senior care worker the month after I qualified.”
“My employer was clear, I needed GCSE English to move into a supervisory role. Lift College helped me find the right exam board and an exam centre five minutes from home. Passed grade 4. Got the promotion.”
“My employer needed me to have Level 2 maths before they could register me on the Level 3 apprenticeship programme. Lift College was fast, the tutor was brilliant, and I resit my maths once after a near-miss and passed the second time. The whole thing took twelve weeks.”
Questions about Martyn's Law Training
Is Martyn's Law in force yet?
No. The Act received Royal Assent on 3 April 2025 and the Home Office says the implementation period is expected to be at least 24 months, with no legal requirement to comply until regulations bring it into force. The statutory guidance was published on 15 April 2026 so venues can prepare.
Is this course CPD accredited?
Yes. Martyn's Law Training is an accredited CPD activity with the CPD Standards Office, the UK's research-led CPD accreditation body. Lift College Limited is a CPD Standards Office accredited provider (provider number 51289), and your certificate carries the CPD Standards Office mark and our provider number so an employer or professional body can check it.
Does Martyn's Law require staff training?
The Home Office factsheet says there is no statutory requirement for specific training, but people working at the premises must be made aware of the public protection procedures and given the understanding and tools to carry them out. This course gives staff and responsible persons that understanding; it does not replace your venue's own procedures.
Which premises are in scope?
Premises used for one of the purposes listed in the Act where 200 or more individuals, including staff, may reasonably be expected to be present at the same time. 200 to 799 is the standard tier; 800 or more is the enhanced tier. Events qualify at 800 or more. The scope factsheets and chapters 4 and 5 of the statutory guidance give the detail.
What are the four public protection procedures?
Evacuation (moving people out), invacuation (moving people to a safer place inside), lockdown (securing the premises to stop people entering or leaving) and communication (alerting people and telling them what to do). Each must be appropriate and reasonably practicable for the premises.
What does this course not cover?
It does not write your procedures, assess your capacity or act as the statutory guidance. It gives the awareness so the responsible person and staff can do those things from the Home Office guidance, and it does not cover the enhanced tier document in the depth a large venue's security lead will need.
How long do I keep access?
You keep your access for as long as Lift College offers the course, and never less than 3 years from the day you buy. Your certificate PDF is yours to keep.
What is the free refresher?
Lift College recommends refreshing this course every 12 months. When your date comes round, you can retake the latest version free and get a new certificate. We email you 30 days before.
Does it count towards my CPD?
Yes. The course is 1.5 hours of learning, shown on your CPD Standards Office accredited certificate, so you can log the hours in your CPD record.
Can I get my money back?
Yes. Ask within 14 days of paying and we refund you in full.
Can my employer pay?
Yes. Your receipt shows the course, the date and the amount paid, and you can pass it to your employer. Buying for a team? Open a free organisation account: every course is £16.99, and you can pay by card or invoice with your PO.
Can my team do this course in another language?
Yes, on an organisation account with 10 or more places. Your team can study Martyn's Law Training in Polish, Romanian, Punjabi, Urdu or Welsh, prepared within 1 working day of your order.
