Course Overview
Meet the all in one Fire training bundle for installers. A unique offering from Tavcom Training, this training bundle comprises of three individual practical training courses designed to train engineers from the ‘ground up’ who need to become immediately effective in the workplace.
This Fire training bundle comprises of three courses, each undertaken separately by the learner:
- Practical Fire Alarm Installation (BTEC Level 3 Certificate)
- Fire Alarm Service, Repair and Maintenance (Tavcom Level 3 Certificate)
- Fire Safety Awareness and Risk Assessment (online - Tavcom Certificate)
The bundle has been created for those with little or no experience in Fire Alarms, who may wish to develop a more detailed understanding of how this aspect of technical security works in relation to their role.
Courses are hosted at either our Bishop’s Waltham or Shipley training centres. Upon successful completion of each, learners receive three formal qualifications, including a BTEC Level 3 certificate, as well as 24 CPD points.
