Fire Alarm Design Professional Training Program

Not a PDF, and not a typical video-and-quiz course. A full professional engineering curriculum — 16 modules and 8 complete real-project design packages, with worked calculations, drawings, field documentation, and a certificate of completion.

23 modules in 5 phases, with worked examples, interactive tools, labs and a quiz in every one, and a certificate of completion.

Real Projects

You apply what you have learned to 8 complete designs, starting with Single-Family Home.

0/8 done

🏠Module 14🔒

Single-Family Home

The simplest project in the series — how residential requirements genuinely differ from commercial design.

🏢Module 15🔒

Office Building

The program's baseline commercial project — every other project deviates from this in a specific, named way.

🏫Module 16🔒

K-12 School

General-evacuation design philosophy plus mass notification integration for a lockdown-capable facility.

🏥Module 17🔒

Hospital

Defend-in-place design — smoke compartmentation, elevator recall, smoke control, selective notification.

🛏️Module 18🔒

Hotel

Notifying sleeping occupants — in-room notification and the code-driven differences from daytime design.

📦Module 19🔒

Warehouse

High-ceiling detection, sprinkler-integrated design, and the largest voltage-drop challenge in the program.

🏭Module 20🔒

Manufacturing Plant

Harsh-environment device selection, hazardous-area design, and process equipment shutdown interlocks.

🏙️Module 21🔒

High-Rise

The program's most complex project — networked panels, phased/voice evacuation, and a fire command center.
