The Fire Alarm Foundation course is designed to give participants a practical knowledge of the operation and installation of Fire Alarm Systems at a foundation level. During this practical and theory-based course students will gain the skills and knowledge to install and wire up a Fire Alarm Control Panel to typical auxiliary equipment such as Break Glass Units, Smoke Detectors, Heat Detectors, Bells, and Sirens.

Delegates will develop knowledge of the requirements for the design, installation and commissioning of Fire Detection and Fire Alarm systems within domestic properties in compliance with the requirements of BS 5839-6 and other codes of practice.

Learners will be introduced to the design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of intruder and hold-up alarm systems.

Learners will develop knowledge from the FD&FA foundation module and/or industry experience and apply this to the maintenance of FD&FA systems.

Learners will develop knowledge of FD&FA systems and apply this to the provision of detection and electrical actuation for gas extinguishing systems.

Learners will be introduced to the design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of intruder and hold-up alarm systems.

The Hi-Tech Training Digital Text & Voice Communicator Course is designed to provide participants with the skills required to connect Digital, Text & Voice Communicators to an Alarm Control Panel for transmission of Digital status signals via the telephone line, GSM Network or IP network to a central monitoring station. The Digital Communicator Course’s practical application and our highly experienced trainers ensure that this course is second to none. The course is technical and practical in nature and is suitable for participants who have successfully completed the Hi-Tech Training Intruder Alarm Installation Course or equivalent.

Delegates will develop knowledge of the requirements for the design, installation and commissioning of Fire Detection and Fire Alarm systems within domestic properties in compliance with the requirements of BS 5839-6 and other codes of practice.

This two day Fire Alarms BS 5839 course is based upon BS 5839:1, BS 5839:6 Fire alarm systems are essential for the safety of life and/or property. In general, it is appropriate to install some form of fire alarm system in virtually all buildings, except very small relatively open planned buildings. The initiation of alarm can be either manual or automatic, or a combination of both, as is usually the case. The level of cover required by a building is based upon a fire risk assessment and a suitable system selected to meet this need. The Fire Alarms BS 5839 course provides the necessary information to design, construct and commission a non-addressable fire alarm system to BS 5839. The first day of the Fire Alarms BS 5839 course is spent reading through and interpreting the relevant parts of BS 5839. The second day of the Fire Alarms BS 5839 course takes the form of a practical workshop where a system is designed, constructed and inspected and tested. The participant is then introduced to the practical issues of system maintenance, certification and reporting.

Learners will be given a broad overview of hazardous areas with a particular emphasis on the requirements for intrinsically safe fire detection and alarm systems.
