At the end of the course, delegates will take an exam, during which they are allowed access to their notes and a copy of BS 6266 if they have one available. Access to a copy of BS 6266 is not essential; the course notes will provide all the necessary information for the exam.

If they are unsuccessful during the exam at the end of the course, they will be eligible for a free exam resit.

No prior experience or qualifications are required to take this unit, although completion of the BS 5839-1 Fundamentals course would be beneficial, as would any existing experience with fire detection and fire alarm systems.

These books can be kept by the delegates and are a useful reference tool for the workplace.
