Master Fire Alarm Systems Like a Pro
Your trade matters. Join a working fire alarm tech for a masterclass and finish ready to install, verify, and pass inspection — the way the field actually works.
Eight modules.
Built like a real apprenticeship.
Theory, code, field application, testing, and troubleshooting — structured the way electricians actually learn on the job.
Codes, Standards & Regulations
The regulatory framework that governs every fire alarm install — OBC, NBC, CAN/ULC standards.
Science of Fire & Smoke
How fire and smoke behave, and what detectors actually sense in the real world.
Fire Alarm Fundamentals
Panels, signal circuits, and system architecture from the controller out.
Field Wiring & Supervision
Class A vs Class B, EOL devices, shielded cable, voltage drop, and OESC Section 32.
Initiating Devices
Pulls, smokes, heats, duct, beam, and flame detectors — placement, spacing, field use.
Notification Appliances
NACs, horns, strobes, dBA coverage, and notification circuit calculations.
Preliminary Testing & Verification
Pre-commissioning workflow: DMM safety, CAT ratings, circuit verification, diagnostics.
Specs & Construction Docs
Read specs, shop drawings, risers, the fire alarm matrix, and CAN/ULC-S524 Cl. 4.7.
What you'll learn
Eight measurable skills you'll walk away with — the same competencies inspectors and senior techs expect on every job.
Read and apply OBC & CAN/ULC standards
Navigate the codebook with confidence on every install.
Wire Class A & Class B circuits correctly
EOL devices, shielding, and supervision done right the first time.
Place detectors per spacing rules
Smokes, heats, duct, beam — know what goes where and why.
Calculate notification coverage
Hit dBA and candela requirements without overspending.
Verify systems to ULC-S537
Run the pre-commissioning workflow techs use on real sites.
Troubleshoot ground faults & opens
Diagnose panel trouble signals quickly under pressure.
Read specs, risers and matrices
Interpret construction documents like a journeyman.
Commission addressable panels
SLC addressing, programming logic, and final walk-through.
