FIRE SAFETY (continued from previous page) All pre-learning materials are freely available, whether you’ve booked a course or not, so you can get started even before you’ve booked! However, attendance in class is a necessary part of the qualification,so these two methods of study should complement each other (PPE) 17) Asbestos 18) Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Environmental This unit also has 8 areas of study. These are: 1) Environmental Law 2) Restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS) 3) Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) 4) Waste Management 5) Energy Consumption 6) Ionising Radiation Regulations IRR17 7) F-Gas 8) Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) (Halon) Advanced Installer This unit is designed to further develop knowledge and understanding gained in completing the Foundation Course. Whilst the Foundation introduced a range of topic areas, this unit focuses in further, examining how fire safety law, codes of practice, and guidance can be applied to the role of systems installer. You will then develop your knowledge and understanding into the application of systems installation, systems testing and fault finding and of course the documentation necessary for installation and handover to other key stakeholders including commissioning technicians and the end user. The course has 5 areas of study (labelled A-E on the syllabus set by the FIA AO): A) BS 5839/IS 3218; B) The Construction Design Management Regulations (CDM) 2015; C) Building Regulations; D) Installation Methodology; E) Documentation. Assessment Long gone are the days of putting pen to paper (well, maybe not so long!). All assessments on the qualification pathway are taken digitally on a tablet at the end of each individual unit. The assessment for each course is a series of multiple choice questions designed to challenge the knowledge and understanding of the learner. As the learner progresses from the Foundation Course to the other units, they will find that the knowledge gained in previous units will be built upon and tested. As with all formal exams – the usual rules apply: no talking, texting, conferring, or reference material allowed. However, the advantage here is that those walking out of the exam can be proud of the fact that they passed on their own brain power and knowledge alone (and later, can use that knowledge in the workplace). Pre-Learning Materials To those worried about exams – fear not. The FIA has put together a number of pre-learning materials that are freely available on the FIA website (listed handily on each course). A word of advice: use the pre-learning materials to study before attending the course, and don’t skip out – these are an important part of the course and are made to help learners on the way to achieving a pass for the qualification. Those that do study up tend to do a lot better on the courses than those that don’t, purely because attending the courses will then draw on anything you may have learnt through self-study and develop that knowledge further. All pre-learning materials are freely available, whether you’ve booked a course or not, so you can get started even before you’ve booked! However, attendance in class is a necessary part of the qualification, so these two methods of study should complement each other to give you (or your staff, if you’re sending them) a more rounded learning experience. Other courses The FIA will be releasing other units in Maintaining, Designing, and Commissioning fire alarm systems over the coming weeks and months (at the time of writing one of the units listed is gearing up for release), so now is the perfect time to start on the initial units if you’re interested in getting qualified in any of these areas. The best way to stay up to date with these developments is to head to the FIA website and sign up for the training newsletter.
