NICET12 Fire Alarm Technicians Certification Level I/II Class Type Engineering System General Fire Alarm Systems Duration 5.0 days Class Audience Fire Alarm Systems Designers, Electricians, Electronic Systems Specialists, maintenance persons responsible for Fire Alarm System, Honeywell Authorized System Distributor Installation personnel for Fire Alarm System, Honeywell systems technicians for Fire Alarm or other related systems, Customer Personnel responsible for NFPA code compliance at their sites and management personnel responsible for NFPA Code compliance
Offered At Customer site or St Paul # of Students Minimum 4, Maximum 8 Cost $2288 per person at site, $1483 per person St Paul Pre-requisites None Brief The objective of the course is to expose the student to the letter and spirit of the National Fire Protection Agency Code. The class is aimed at persons designing, servicing or managing a fire alarm system in a public building or facility. The first objective of the class is to discuss the intent, approach and method of the various technical committees of the NFPA. It is submitted in class at length that the understanding of these three elements is critical for the future designer, service or manager of a fire alarm system. Once the student has mastered the above the class then shows what are the different aspects of a fire alarm system to which the three elements referred to above are applied. This area is conveniently divided into work elements by NICET. Depending upon one’s objectives one needs to exhibit an understanding of 34 different work elements to fulfill the requirements for NICET Certification at level 1 and II. The class discusses the specific application of the 3-part system of the NFPA to each fire alarm aspect in selected detail that shows instructor selection and knowledge of Fire alarm systems. On other aspects, students get guidance and assigned critical readings to report on. The specific work elements worked on in the class are listed below under topics. Notice that more is worked on than is required for Level I/II. Some of the work can be used by the students for Level III/IV Certification. Objectives Upon completion of the course the student will be able to:
· Exhibit a full knowledge and understanding of the methods and approach of the NFPA Technical committees · Given a fire alarm question, decide which of the NFPA codes is applicable and then will be able to find the required section and paragraph ruling on the subject · Given a fire alarm situation/configuration, determine the applicable code and then will be able to rule on the compliance of the situation/configuration involved or will be able to pursue it to find the proper solution on the matter · Will be able to ensure compliance objectives of a given commercial, industrial of governmental or other entity · Work with compliance questions on an everyday basis · Act as liaison between the relevant authority having jurisdiction and the entity he/she represents for all compliance/verification questions · Ensure all testing and verification requirements of the NFPA for his/her entity · Exhibit an understanding of all documentation requirements of the NFPA and will be able to assemble and maintain the same in a simple yet exhaustive and complete manner as required by the NFPA · Exhibit a knowledge of NFPA source code books, ordering sources for them and be able to purchase and maintain a library of the NFPA Code books and others at the site, and for the site use on a daily or other basis · Order and maintain the NFPA handbooks at his/her site for daily or other use and will be able to encourage the use of the same and will be able to lead and guide the users at his her site by interpreting the various provisions of the NFPA for them · Appreciate that some of the requirements of the NFPA are not directly determinate and require interpretation and hence will be able to chart a course of action in such cases and will be able to help and guide his/her entity in good faith
