Applicants must apply for an exemption from Fire Alarm Courses 2, 3, and 4. Please click here to download the exemption form. Exemptions can be approved for courses 2, 3 and 4 by anyone who has taken courses that are equivalent. An exemption assessment is required to see if comparatives are met (309A is not the only qualifier).
