Important Notes

Courses 1 and 5 are 36-hour courses each. Full attendance for both courses is required to satisfy the requirements to become a CFAA registered fire alarm technician trainee.

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).

The CFAA Manual is required for both Course 1 and Course 5. The total cost includes the shipping fee to registrants’ homes. Manual cannot be mailed to PO Boxes. An alternative mailing address will be required to those who have PO boxes.
