Fire Alarm System Courses - Practical Fire Alarm Panel Training
Learn more than Regulations. Learn the Equipment. Become Employable.
To work in the fire alarm industry today, you need two completely different skill sets:
- Regulations & Certification – understanding BS 5839, design principles, installation rules, inspection, testing, and servicing requirements.
- Equipment Knowledge – the real-world ability to wire, programme, commission, test, service, and fault-find actual fire alarm panels and devices.
Most training providers only teach the first part. Their fire alarm courses focus on design, installation, maintenance, servicing, and compliance from a regulatory point of view. These courses are essential for certification, but they do not teach you how to operate or programme equipment.
Even with certification, employers expect you to already know how to work with real fire alarm systems. If you cannot wire a loop, configure devices, programme cause-and-effect, or commission a panel, you will struggle to secure work.
BH Courses Fills This Gap
We are a complementary training provider. We do not replace certification courses — we enhance them by teaching the practical, equipment-focused skills that most providers do not cover.
Our fire alarm system courses give you the hands-on knowledge needed to actually do the job:
- Installation
- Wiring
- Programming
- Commissioning
- Testing
- Servicing
- Maintenance
- Fault-finding
- Real panel operation & device configuration
If you want to become employable in the fire alarm industry, you need both regulations and equipment skills. We specialise in the second one.
