Residential Fire Alarm Technician Certification

Many residential security professionals throughout the United States are required to take a Residential Fire Alarm Technician course and/or State exam in order to fulfill their state requirements. The majority of these certification courses are available only through a traditional classroom setting for two days at a time followed by a state exam. This creates a huge problem for the majority of licensees due to logistical, monetary reasons, and time constraints. Because of this fact, many security professionals are not in compliance with their State Fire Marshal’s rules and are not properly trained. This can lead to unnecessary fines and liability issues for all licensed companies.  The proper operation of fire alarm and signaling systems is critical to their ability to protect life and property. This course is designed to educate the student on the importance of testing and inspection to identify system deficiencies and perform corrective action. The requirements for generation and retention of documentation and records will be part of this course.

This online seven (7) hour Residential Fire Alarm Technician course is dedicated to training technicians about the importance of residential fire systems.  This fire alarm technician course is designed to provide the existing requirements for all technicians who install and/or maintain smoke and heat detectors in residential construction.  This includes the design process, system requirements, installation of residential fire systems, wiring specifications, record documentation, the inspection process, how to maintain the system, and finally, how to test a residential fire system.  

This training certification is designed to teach new and existing residential fire alarm technicians the requirements for obtaining your residential fire alarm technician license. This certification provides the necessary code knowledge for individuals or companies to expand their business to include the design, installation, maintenance, and testing of residential fire systems without the need of the Fire Alarm Installer Technique Certification  (FAIT) which covers a much broader aspect than just residential fire systems. The material is designed to offer specific code related information from the:

  • NEC (NFPA 70)
  • National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code (NFPA 72)
  • Life Safety Codes (NFPA 101)
  • International Residential Codes

The Louisiana Life Safety and Property Protection Advisory Board has approved this course as an initial certification option for both the Non-Required and Household Fire Specialists Endorsements.
