  • Engineers, architects, installers wishing to learn about fire protection systems
  • Architects and pre-sales engineers.
  • Inspectors, supervisors, resident engineers and any personnel involved in construction works.
  • Target Audiences

  • Any professional or student who wishes to become NFPA 72 certified.
  • Engineers, architects, installers wishing to learn about fire protection systems
  • Architects and pre-sales engineers.
  • Inspectors, supervisors, resident engineers and any personnel involved in construction works.
  • Every day we see more complex constructions with more demanding requirements, which require extensive knowledge of the concepts and standards by engineers and architects for the design of fire alarm systems as well as field personnel responsible for installations and testing.

    In this course you will learn the design procedures and calculations of fire alarm systems while clarifying the concepts of each component. It is designed for beginner students as well as professionals with previous knowledge in fire alarm systems.

    The course uses a theoretical/practical methodology so we will be working together on a Hotel project design, where we will have to make calculations and locate the different components based on what NFPA 72 standarizes. Before working on the design we will focus on reviewing each component of a fire alarm system, how it works and interacts with other system.

    What concepts will you learn in this course?

  • Concepts of a fire alarm system:

  • Main Panel Characteristics

  • Types of detectors

  • Pull stations

  • Input and output modules
