I'm considering testing for NICET fire alarm certification. What I don't yet know and would be very interested in is who typically prepares fire alarm shop drawings?
Do freelance fire alarm designers/engineers make up a large portion of shop drawing preparation, or is it mostly all completed by a fire alarm company's designer? Do large manufacturers (Simplex/JCI) complete all of their own shop drawing work with in-house designers? Thanks in advance - I'm trying to get a better perspective for my career.

What is difference in the content in the NICET Level III and Level IV (water based layout)?
I am getting ready to test for the Level IV, I have read the test content outline from NICET, but just was wondering if it was more of the same (NICET Level III) or concentrated on certain topics. This is taking in consideration that the content outline from NICET has been read. The only designer I know with a NICET IV, tested with elements years ago. Thanks for any the time and help.

Does anyone have any advice or experience with studying for this exam? Also any advice or feedback concerning the major project write-up? Posted anonymously for discussion. Discuss This | Submit a Question | Subscribe |
