Online Fire Alarm Engineer Certification in Ireland

Although it may come as a surprise, in Ireland a Fire Alarm Engineer does NOT require certification. Instead Fire Alarm Regulations (IS 3218) speak about competent person. Everything related to Fire Alarms should be done by a competent person: design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance. Regulations define the competent person as: "'possessing sufficient training, experience and knowledge appropriate to the nature of the work to be undertaken" EN 54-1 (I.S.54-1)
In short, there is no legal requirement to be certified by a government body to work on fire alarms, but you must be a competent person, you should have training, knowledge & experience. We can help you with that requirement. 
We have prepared two main courses, fire alarm course No1 & No2 listed below. The first will give you knowledge of different fire panels used in Ireland, and the second will teach you how regulations govern design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of Fire Alarms. You can also sign up for a small courses covering only one particular fire panel. Link to all courses below.

Fire Alarm Course No1:

Fire Alarm Hardware Commissioning (I.S 3218), Video-on-Demand,

The course covers CONVENTIONAL, ADDRESSABLE, AIR SAMPLING SYSTEMS (Aspirating Smoke Detection), SUPPRESSION & LEAK DETECTION.

We are focused on practical aspects: how to connect, program, service and commission the 7 most common in Ireland fire panels: C-TEC, MORLEY, ADVANCED, KENTEC(suppression), WAGNER, VESDA, MICRA STRATOS & 1 for leak detection (KENTEC).

Courses is taught by experienced fire alarm engineer from Ireland.

For whom is this fire alarm course?

For BEGINNERS, TECHNICIANS, and ELECTRICIANS. It will be perfect, especially for electricians and security industry engineers.

Imay also be suitable for ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS APPRENTICES.

What is the goal of this fire alarm course?

To give a person enough knowledge to do all typical operations (specified further on this page) on listed below fire alarm panels – so they can have a kick start and hit the ground running. No fluff, no waste of time. This should be enough to service, maintain, and commission (i.e. adding, changing devices). We do not aim to provide all the information (for this there is a producer product training), but we aim to provide essential information on common fire panels so a person can get up to speed.

What we do not do in our fire alarm courses?

We do not provide individual consultations (person to person) or technical support.

What do we teach in this fire alarm course?
