Competenz can provide training plans, support and qualifications — tailored to your business's specific needs.
The fire protection programmes provide a nationally recognised qualification that combines practical workplace training with technical knowledge. It equips people with the skills to install, test, maintain, and commission a range of fire protection systems, including fixed systems (like sprinklers and special hazard systems), fire detection and alarm systems, passive fire protection components, and hand-operated firefighting equipment. Training covers system installation, system testing and inspection, compliance with building codes and relevant standards, and documentation procedures.
