Hey people just wondering if i wanted to start carrying out fire extinguisher maintenances and servicing, what training is required and where you have you got your training done from?

ive had a look at the BAFE and FIA sites, but thought id also ask on here

for any info

there 2 schools of thought,

i.) a damp rag & packet of new tags

or

ii.) FIA coarse & exam

mate, on the site it says you'll get a bafe approved certificate, does this also mean you can then be put on the bafe website as a approved extinguisher maintenance company??
