Module 5: Detailed Design for Fire Detection & Alarm Systems for Industrial & Commercial Premises
This is an intensive one-day course which should suit design engineers, sales engineers, CAD operators and others, requiring detailed training with the objectives of design to BS 5839-1 at acceptable cost and practicality.
Cost savings are such that delegates should be able to recoup the cost of the course when putting into practice that learnt in
the course.
Tests are spread throughout the day, comprising diagrammatic drawing for calculations and marking up. Before each test, worked examples will be explained to demonstrate the methods to be used. A plan to be marked up with detectors and manual call points will also be included in the assessment. Delegates achieving 75% in the assessment tests will receive a pass Certificate.
