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.
Fire science, why fire alarm systems exist, the code stack, and the vocabulary the rest of the program assumes you have.
NFPA 72, NEC Article 760, IBC, IFC, ADA requirements, local amendments, UL listings, and manufacturer requirements.
All 20 major device types — purpose, operating principle, installation, applications, limitations, testing, and maintenance.
Conventional, addressable, intelligent, voice evacuation, mass notification, wireless, and hybrid systems.
IDC, NAC, and SLC circuit types, Class A/B/X wiring, style designations, and pathway survivability.
Floor plans, riser diagrams, sequence of operations, device schedules, and specifications — how to read and produce them.
Wiring methods, device mounting practices, labeling, and trade coordination.
Addressing, zones, cause-and-effect logic, delays, cross-zoning, verification, and signal configuration.
Acceptance testing, AHJ witness inspection, commissioning integration testing, and closeout documentation.
ITM frequencies, testing procedures, battery replacement, sensitivity testing, and deficiency reporting.
9 real diagnostic scenarios, each with symptoms, diagnosis, testing steps, and resolution.
The simplest project in the series — how residential requirements genuinely differ from commercial design.
The program's baseline commercial project — every other project deviates from this in a specific, named way.
General-evacuation design philosophy plus mass notification integration for a lockdown-capable facility.
Defend-in-place design — smoke compartmentation, elevator recall, smoke control, selective notification.
Notifying sleeping occupants — in-room notification and the code-driven differences from daytime design.
High-ceiling detection, sprinkler-integrated design, and the largest voltage-drop challenge in the program.
Harsh-environment device selection, hazardous-area design, and process equipment shutdown interlocks.
The program's most complex project — networked panels, phased/voice evacuation, and a fire command center.
12 real project templates — device schedule & BOM, specification outline, battery and voltage-drop worksheets, acceptance testing checklist, commissioning report, inspection report, as-built documentation checklist, sequence of operation matrix, change order, RFI, and punch list. Available for download from Module 15 (Professional Documentation) once you've unlocked the program.
Coming later: a symbol library, CAD blocks, Revit families, and video demonstrations. Not included in this release.
