The Fire Industry Association (FIA) has launched its new Level 3 qualification on BS 5839-6, “FIA AO Fundamentals of Fire Detection and Alarm Systems in Domestic Premises.”
The new OFQUAL recognised qualification has been carefully designed to deliver a great introduction to a key part of the Fire Detection & Alarm (FD&A) sector.
British Standard, BS 5839-6:2019 provides detailed recommendations for fire detection and fire alarm systems in all domestic premises, addressing both new-build and existing properties. The standard includes a large amount of detail on all aspects relating to the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of these systems.
The new update to BS 5839-6 came into effect in April 2019 and is intended for use by architects and other building professionals, enforcing authorities, installers and others responsible for implementing fire precautions in domestic premises.
The FIA’s new BS 5839-6 course is a one-day unit designed to give delegates a strong grounding in the requirements of BS 5839-6, which is essential for anyone working in FD&A in domestic premises.
To take the new Level 3 qualification, delegates must have taken and passed both Unit 1 and 2 of the FIA’s BS 5839-1 Fundamentals of Fire Detection and Alarm Systems in Non-Domestic Premises.
Being qualified to Level 3 is a widely accepted way to demonstrate competency in the FD&A. As a result, FIA Awarding Organisation’s Fundamentals qualification has been developed to Level 3 and registered on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), equivalent to a Level 4 on the European Qualifications Framework (EQF).
The first courses start on August 5th and August the 12th 2020.
