NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. — National Training Center (NTC), a leading developer of training materials for the low-voltage industry, has released a self-study package for technicians to achieve the necessary study time to accomplish NICET Fire Alarm certification.
A NICET certification places technicians in a position where they are in demand, earn a higher hourly wage, among other career benefits, according to NTC. In project specifications in many states, architects routinely require that a NICET II or III technician be present on the job. In many cases a technician that gains NICET IV certification also can engineer and/or stamp a set of blueprints.
There are tried-and-true ways to study for a NICET exam that will help assure technicians’ success, according to NTC President Charles Aulner.
“Consistency in your effort to achieve NICET certification is the key. You must study a little every day. It’s important that you learn how to use the codes rather than focusing on memorizing them,” Aulner says.
To that end, NTC recently released the “NICET Fire Alarm DIY Bundle,” which is designed to help professionals achieve the needed study time to accomplish NICET certification. This self-study package includes online training aides for any level of NICET Fire Alarm study.
Included are practice exams designed to speed the student’s code identification and to gauge exam readiness. Rounding out the package are NTC’s three fire alarm books: Red Book – Fire Alarm Certification Guide; Orange Book – Fire Alarm Code Handbook; and, Brown Book – Fire Alarm Systems Handbook.
With a 90-day window to access online training aides, the package is billed as a perfect solution for busy technicians and salespeople that may not be able to devote hours away from work for a full training class.
Between the books and online training, there is plenty of opportunity for daily study so that students can consistency prepare to pass the exam, according to NTC. Full details can be found here.
