Hey guys, I am interested in entering the professional world of fire alarms. I have worked in fire safety for the last 10 years but with small interaction with the fire alarms. I would like to take a training course to get myself ready for the test. I live in ky and the the state fire marshal website has a list of approved courses, I am wondering if any of you have taken any of these courses or could possibly point me in the right direction as to which one I should purchase?
Thanks in advance,
Zeph
