Fire Alarm Systems
Fire Alarm Systems— New Testing Process Begins February 1, 2010
NICET Fire Alarm Systems program is transitioning to Computer-Based Testing (CBT) in the Standard Model. The new format is a quality improvement that features convenient test scheduling (more times and locations) and scores before leaving the testing facility.
Anyone may apply for Work Element testing until midnight on January 31, 2010.
Starting February 1, 2010, the first day of transition for Fire Alarm Systems, all applicants will be required to test in the Standard Model/CBT format, EXCEPT for those who:
- Previously tested one or more WEs in that program, or
- Have an active application postmarked prior to February 1, 2010.
WE applications postmarked between February 1, 2010 and the January 31, 2011 will be accepted only from individuals who meet the two conditions above. Those individuals may continue to apply for WE exams UNTIL one of the following occurs:
- The individual submits an application for a Standard Model/CBT exam in the program, or
- The last day of the transition period has passed.
The last day of the transition period will be January 31, 2011.
See Standard Model/CBT for information and applications for the new format.
