Good for you! Here, I am going to summarize much of the information found at www. The first thing to know is, NICET requires an individual to have 3 months of technical experience in the industry.
This means that you have either worked for a company whose direct market is Fire Alarm Systems, or you have done inspections, service, construction or engineering of some sort for a total of 3 months. Grey areas related to what is considered fire alarm experience will ultimately be decided by your approving manager or the one approving your experience application.
But my guess is most of you have been in the industry longer than 3 months since NICET is a somewhat specialized certification to seek out and the odds are you are either being asked by your company to get certified, or you are simply hoping to progress your career by making yourself more valuable and improving your resume.
There are two parts involved with receiving your actual certification card. The only reason I am telling you this is because when I first decided to take Level I and was trying to figure out the process, I scheduled the exam, studied hard, went and passed it. Just put in your last name and preferred email and they will send you the setup instructions and get you your own unique ID number.
This will be the number that all your certifications are tied to going forward. People can also look you up via your ID number and see the certifications you have. Once you have set up your NICET account, you will see that you have a number of options to choose from and information to look through. You can browse this information at your leisure but I will give you a brief overview of the important things you will need to find.

Maybe an obvious point, but still deserving an honorable mention. Once you have selected the level you are hoping to take, in this case Level I, you will be given a whole bunch of 3-month test windows.
Level II. A minimum of 6 months of experience in the inspection and testing of fire alarm and suppression systems. What education do you need to be a fire inspector? Fire Inspector Training Programs As part of the fire department team, inspectors typically rise from firefighter roles.
