AFAA lead the way in supporting the development of NICET’s newest program – Inspection and Testing of Fire Alarm System (ITFAS). Now that NICET’s certification program is complete AFAA has launched training for this growing specialty.  

Fire Alarm System Testing and Inspection Seminar and Preparation for the NICET Certification Exams (AFAA030) is a one day course based on the 2013 edition of NFPA 72. This basic application course reviews the requirements for fire alarm systems testing and inspection; how to perform the tests properly; and how to conduct visual inspections in order to satisfy the requirements of NFPA 72, 2013 National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code.  This seminar is beneficial for installers performing acceptance or reacceptance tests of new fire alarm systems; service technicians performing periodic testing and inspection of existing fire alarm systems; building and fire inspectors witnessing acceptance and reacceptance testing; and personnel representing the owner, whom is responsible for the testing and inspection of fire alarm systems in their facilities.

Upon completion of this course, the attendee will be able to determine the testing and inspection requirements of NFPA 72 and how to perform these tests, as well as understand the NICET application process and requirements.
