What People Say...

The design course I attended has given me the confidence to design not only simple fire alarm systems but complex ones too. The hands-on practical assessment was very good.

High-quality training is vital in the fire-safety industry. As a specialist installation company delivering high-end projects, C-TEC’s BS 5839-1 courses equip our engineers with the expertise they need to be the best in the business.

The option to book courses on an individual or an intensive weeklong basis is great as it means we can plan our engineers’ training around our work-load. When you’ve got so many projects on the go, flexibility is important.

All our new starters now attend the BS 5839-1 foundation course as it gives them a superb overview of the standards, solid base knowledge for the advanced courses and training materials to refer back to.

Excellent course. The facilities are first-class, the lunch was amazing and our trainer provided us with lots of real-life examples, experiences and tips from the field. Would highly recommend.
