Fire detection and alarm systems are incorporated into virtually all commercial and industrial premises in the UK.  However, despite their recognition they are also the least understood and frequantly mismanaged, often creating unwanted alarms.  It is therefore essential that those with responsibility for installation, design and management of these systems have a working knowledge of their operation and application.

Fire detection and alarm systems harness cutting-edge technology to ensure that fires are detected faster and the damage they cause is minimised. Our courses are kept up-to-date and now include topics such as:

• increased responsibility placed on designers;
• fire warning systems for deaf people;
• guidance on reduction of false alarms;
• guidance on servicing and maintenance;
• changes and recommendations for cables; and
• introduction of new categories of systems.

The Fire Protection Association offers a range of courses to cover the needs of those involved in fire alarm and detection systems. Our courses cover the British and European standards that are applicable to fire alarm and detection systems.

As with all FPA training, these courses can be run on a bespoke basis at a time and place convenient for our customers.

Significant reductions are available for those who would like to study a combination of any of our introductory, intermediate and advanced level courses.

If you would like further information on any of these courses please contact the FPA’s Training Co-ordinator on +44 (0)20 8884 4050.
