Students develop the skills to evaluate, install, and acceptance-test more complex systems while applying current NFPA requirements and required documentation practices. In this level, students also receive the NFPA 13 codebook to reference throughout the course. This course was developed in partnership with the industry experts at the American Fire Sprinkler Association (AFSA) and is the third level in a four-level program.
