The Project Fire Academy is now offering residential fire sprinkler design courses aimed at those wishing to know more about residential and domestic sprinkler design under BS 9251:2021. The course aims to equip you with the necessary skills and knowledge to design a compliant sprinkler system using appropriate sprinkler equipment in accordance with BS 9251: 2021. The course will also look at best practice for things like system enhancements, multi-storey buildings, mixed use buildings and how the sprinkler system may fit into the wider fire strategy.
Although attendees are assessed for competency at the end of the course, it does not include any formal qualification; exams from third party bodies can be organised and booked separately.
Training is provided by Andrew Fisher who has worked in the sprinkler industry for over 10 years, previously passed the LPS 1048 exams and is also a qualified teacher. Andrew has been providing training in automatic fire sprinkler systems for over 6 years, has delivered over a 1000 hours of CPD training to global consultancy firms and also curates and presents Project Fire’s educational platform “Sprinkler Talk”.

-
- Categories of system
