Description

Sprinkler Talk is Project Fire’s channel where we talk about all things sprinkler related, from the latest innovations, industry news, technical bulletins and solutions for making a better more sustainable fire protection industry.

Sprinkler Talk started out as a series of short educational videos, we have now taken this idea a step further with a new Continuing Professional Development (CPD) platform.

The presentations are bite sized webinars and cover one topic per episode which make them useful as a reference guide for various sprinkler sprinkler related education or learning. The videos cover the basics of fire sprinkler systems and design which will give you a very good understanding of the workings of automatic fire sprinkler systems, through to the fire codes used to design them and applications.

At Project Fire, we have built up over 40 years of experience in automatic fire sprinkler testing and monitoring and continue to be a driving force for innovation, sustainability, and best practice within the industry. We use our experience to provide educational programs across the UK and internationally, providing clear and updated information on fire sprinklers as well as generating both awareness and providing cross-sector sprinkler knowledge.

As industry leaders, we offer unique and bespoke sprinkler training and courses for international businesses and organisations.

Who this course is for:

  • The course would be perfect for consultants working in mechanical/electrical/public health teams as well as junior fire engineers, sprinkler designers and sprinkler fitters wishing to further their knowledge. The course would also be suitable for architects, students, council officers, building control, clerk of works and other construction related professionals.
