Fire Detection Design
Description
In order to work
within the field of fire detection design it helps to understand the standards
and principles behind the equipment. From service technicians through the sales
team to system designers, an understanding of the basic principles of BS5839 Pt
1 will help your staff to speak with authority on all issues arising in this
technical field of the industry. Whether dealing with clients’ questions or
when providing details of the equipment that your business uses this course
will prove to be invaluable. It also serves as the foundation from which to
develop a more specialised understanding of an area of the fire industry that

alongside the equipment you supply, fit and maintain. The course helps in
developing the necessary professional knowledge and understanding.
