Fire Lite Alarms Training Expands to World Wide Web

Fire-Lite Alarms by Honeywell (NYSE:HON) has launched an online series of free, nationally-accredited fire alarm trainings, covering basic fire alarm technology through to the application of specific systems in a variety of environments. Each one-hour, online course explores installers’ most requested topics not addressed within Fire-Lite Alarms’ instructor-led courses.

“These first six online trainings get into topics we regularly receive questions on, but we just can’t fit them all into the one or two-day classes we offer all over the U.S.,” exclaims Tom Rosa, Fire-Lite Alarms’ training supervisor. “You can take these at your own pace and once an online course is done, you’re e-mailed a certificate of completion within five days. How easy is that?”

Certificates qualifying participants for 0.1 Continuing Education Credits (CEUs) are given for each online course. The initial six trainings cover:

• Introduction to Basic Fire Alarm Technology
• MS-25 Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel
• MRP-2001 & MRP-2002 Releasing Control Panels
• Voice Evacuation Principles
• ACC Series Voice Evacuation Panels
• ACC Series Distributed Audio Panels

Fire alarm dealers wanting more online course offerings are strongly encouraged to send suggestions to Fire-Lite Alarms. More information on Fire-Lite Alarms’ free instructor-led and online training offerings is available at www.firelite.com/training.html
