Design, Installation & Maintenance of Residential Sprinkler Systems Come to the experts - we started the whole process in the UK, and represent more Residential Sprinkler Installers than any other organisation, and so know more about Residential Sprinklers than anyone. It was us who originally applied for the British Standard in 1997 and it was us who set up the first Training Courses in 2000. Without our persistence there would be no market today. |

Course scope: RES 1 course provides the knowledge to Maintain and Install Residential Sprinkler Systems to BS9251:2005 (or relevant British Standard). RES 2 course provides the knowledge to Design Residential Sprinkler Systems to BS9251:2005 including Hydraulic Calculations for pipe sizing. The courses are in 3 parts - Foundation Module, RES 1 Maintenance & Installation and RES 2 System Design, which build on each other to give a thorough knowledge of residential sprinkler systems and the requirements of BS9251. RES 1- Installation & Maintenance: comprises 2 parts - |

Foundation - is a distance-learning module, which is a pre-requisite for attendance on the main part of the course. The module ensures that all candidates start the Main course with a basic understanding of the terminology and principles involved. Main Course: The second part, covers 2 further modules - Maintenance & Installation. The course covers the requirements of BS9251:2005 and contains practical information on the installation of systems. It also explains in detail how to interpret and apply the sometimes idiosyncratic requirements of the Standard. The course runs over 2 days with exams at the end. |

RES 2 - System Design Course: This is a separate course which can only be taken after successful completion of the RES 1 course. The course covers all aspects of the design of Residential Sprinkler systems, including hydraulic calculations, and lasts a further 2 full days with an exam at the end. Support: The FSA provides on-going technical support, and will check the first 3 designs of successful candidates, to ensure candidates have fully understood the course contents. Entry requirement: basic plumbing skills, numeracy, literacy and the ability to read and understand drawings, plus successful completion of the distance-learning Foundation module. The Course is mainly theoretical but includes some 'hands on' experience with samples of equipment and sprinklers, installed systems and pipe fitting techniques for copper and plastic pipe. It will involve the use of a scientific calculator and/or computer for hydraulic design. RSA Membership: Although Candidates do not need to be Members of the RSA to do the course, successful Members are listed on our web site, which is frequently reference by customers, Building Control Officers, Fire Brigades and Architects looking for qualified Sprinkler Contractors. Certificate of Competence: Listing by the RSA depends upon the satisfactory completion of course, including passing of all relevant test papers. The Certificate of Competence is awarded to individuals (not companies). |

Refresher Courses: Holders are recommended to take our Refresher Course every 3 years to maintain their status. Look for the RSA tick to see is a chosen Contractor is up to date with their training. Successful candidates will be listed by the RSA so long as they remain Members. |
