Fire & Safety
For electricians looking to build or formalise their expertise, structured training provides a vital foundation. One example is Advanced’s Introduction to Fire Detection & Alarm (FD&A) Systems CPD.
This CPD introduces the key principles behind FD&A systems, for those specifying, installing or maintaining fire alarm systems, offering practical guidance for both new and experienced professionals.
The CPD covers essential topics including system types, relevant standards and legislation and design and installation considerations. It also explores best practices for effective implementation and ongoing maintenance, areas that are crucial for ensuring system reliability and compliance.
By the end of the session, participants are able to understand the purpose and components of FD&A systems, identify appropriate system types for different applications and navigate key standards such as BS 5839. They also gain insight into design principles for effective systems, installation requirements and documentation best practice, as well as a deeper understanding of the total cost of ownership and how to future- proof fire safety solutions.
Certified by the Fire Industry Association (FIA), the CPD is free of charge, and upon successful completion, attendees receive a certificate from
