Fire Alarm Training Courses

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

Thanks for the responses. The test I am referring to is a state test, and then perhaps later I will work on the NICET. At this point I was not looking into any specific brand course or anything. The list I posted was just copied and pasted from the ky.gov website under approved FA courses.
