This
is a 4-book training program with online testing or optional
paper tests. Many states have approved a
contractors apprenticeship training program utilizing
our courses to meet the required supplemental training.
This program, written from a contractor's point of
view, has been developed through combined efforts of
technical experts and AFSA contractor members.
Each book of the series, includes hundreds of photographs,
drawings and tables to provide the latest graphic as
well as written instruction on proper installation techniques
and use of tools. Supplemental DVD or CD is included
with each book.
The
Applied Sprinkler Technology Series was developed to
train designers on all aspects of fire sprinkler technology
and design. It is based on the 1999 ed. of NFPA 13.
This is a 3-book series with online testing or optional
paper tests. The books are divided into modules. Each
module includes a series of lessons that cover a particular
topic within the scope of that module.
