It was three years - cant remember the course number though. I am looking at the certs but it doesnt say.

Year one elec principles, year two intruder, year three intruder and cctv.

Cctv side of it though was back in the stone ages. Wish it was fire to be honest.

You can still do fire but as said before fia fire modules will help and you get a book to refrence too as well

No paper with boot prints on them!

Had a lad go on one the other day and i think its still paper handouts

Don't blame em. Highly useful documents.

But an FIA course doesnt make you a fire alarm engineer, nor is it supposed to teach you to be one.

Correct but i was under the impression timmo is an alarm eng doing it. And he hinted at going it alone and what sorts of paperwork would be usefull to him

But a good basis imo

Its like a more hands on version of a regs cert like 7671 for example you just get text .

Because it explains the regs with add drawings and shows examples.

I was a fire alarm engineer today. I have been working on fire for best part of ten years, but we dont get that much fire work.

If i was to do these fia courses would they give me qualifications or just theory in my head?
