DAY 1
Part 1 The principles of fire – what it is, how it starts and spreads and the types of fire

Part 2 Prevention, control, suppression and extinguishing of fires and how to select the
relevant system(s) – details all the available fire extinguishing systems used and how to
select based on the application

Part 3 How extinguishing systems work

Part 4 Selection of extinguishing systems (where they are best suited) – in terms of
application local to the risk, or throughout the entire volume

Part 5 System delivery types & components

DAY 2
Part 6 System design – key considerations in the design including design concentrations,
discharge times, hydraulic flow calculations, room integrity, etc.)

Part 7 Safety, toxicological factors & Environment

Part 8 Fire detection and triggering – types of detector, the principle of triggering, ancillary
components

Part 9 Interface with building and building management – elements relating to
construction, pressure relief, extract and transmission of alarms

Part 10 Commissioning, maintenance & additional factors – training, testing actuators,
checking interfaces, security & tampering, documentation, periodic inspection, end of
system life
