Fire Alarm Training - Our 12-Hour Live Online instructor-led course goes well beyond the recitation of Codes and Standards. We examine the purpose and specific application of the different codes and standards that regulate the industry. Avoid installation errors, failed inspections and false alarms!
Electricity Forums Training Institute’s (EFTI) Fire Alarm Training Course qualifies for six (6) hours of CFAA Technician Renewal Credits (Category 2 Course) if you’re renewing an annual Technician Registration, as per the CFAA website at http://www.cfaa.ca/cecreditform.aspx). If you’re renewing a two year Technician Registration, the course qualifies for twelve (12) hours (Category 2 Course). To qualify for these credits, you must submit the EFTI Certificate of Completion, along with the course outline and the training schedule to the CFAA.
Our Interactive Workshop examines the purpose and specific application of the relevant Codes and Standards that regulate the installation, Verification, and annual testing of fire alarm and life safety systems. Avoid installation errors and the potential for failed inspections and false alarms. The course maximizes your training experience through a dynamic curriculum that encourages group discussion and problem solving. Taught by a recognized and experienced fire protection professional, you will be provided with the latest information on the fire alarm technology available for use in Canadian Jurisdictions, with specific examples that will help you successfully navigate through the planning, installation, and testing protocols they require.
Get the latest Information and immerse yourself in discussions on integration with other building life safety systems, wireless fire alarm devices, special suppression systems, addressable devices, annunciation, special signalling appliances, and much, much more. We’ll review the different types and styles of wiring, selection of components for specific applications, and the documentation required to ensure a successful installation.
Bring along your own challenges and problems and you’ll leave with a wealth of real-world practical tips, insights, and solutions you can implement in your project. This course is an excellent foundation for individuals interested in learning about Verifying a new installation or assisting with compiling an Integrated Testing Plan.
Why Instructor-Led Training is Best
Instructor-led training offers you a better experience than online or webinar training because we’ll challenge you with problem-solving exercises as you work through learning modules and actively participate in group discussions. We’ll show you how to do it RIGHT!
Do you know the most common mistakes seen in the field? Do you know how to avoid making them?
Many installers aren’t aware that there are requirements for mounting heights for devices and for their interconnections that actually supersede the manufacturer’s instructions. Don’t have your installation rejected by the Verifier or the local jurisdictional authority!
What is the correct method for choosing an automatic fire detector? Why would you not use a smoke detector in a given situation? Do you know which detector is correct for your application? Multi-criteria, or single technology? Yes, it matters! Find out why.
Do you ponder the drawings you’re given and wonder how to correctly wire the system? Save yourself the embarrassment of having to go back and fix it after your installation has failed. It’s YOUR job to know proper installation and design techniques – mistakes are costly both in terms of time and money. There is nothing worse than having someone come along and tell you that you’ve just spent 4 days doing it wrong. Know what YOU are doing and help mentor others. Take this class, ground yourself with the knowledge and skills you need to positively contribute to your project’s success. Become your community’s Life Safety Systems Go-To expert.
Do you feel competent in speaking to the installer/engineer/designer/AHJ about your project when there’s something in the plans and specs that just doesn’t seem right or may actually be missing? While it’s not exactly rocket-science, our course will help you identify the elements your project requires and will help you leverage new technologies and concepts to succeed. Be confident, assertive, and let your employer see how you saved the day! In these tight-money times, the last thing you want is to be responsible for costly delays, or, worse . . . losing a job through your incompetence.
At the end of this intensive two-day course, you’ll be able to directly use the knowledge and skills you’ll have acquired. This course will push you to a new level of confidence you will feel on a DAILY basis.
