SUMMARY:Beginning Design School
DESCRIPTION:The Beginning Design School presents a comprehensive\, practical approach to preparing fire sprinkler system drawings. \nOver a three-week period\, students will attend six live webinars studying and reviewing the installation and design approach requirements of NFPA 13 (2019) while completing self-paced exercises and module assessments. Q&A sessions and open discussions will also be included as part of the online instruction. \nThe second part of the class will be a week of in-person training preparing fire sprinkler system layout\, shop drawings\, and hydraulic calculations by hand. The course concludes with a comprehensive exam of the class content including the installation requirements and hydraulics. \nThere is no CAD or third-party software taught in this class. \nLearning Objectives:\nThe school will prepare the student to: \n\nAccelerate the comprehension of plans and various types of building construction for proper sprinkler spacing applications.\nDetermine the proper and economic planning of sprinkler system layout and installation methods.\nKnow the importance of sprinkler specifications\, types of pipe\, hangers\, fittings\, flow tests\, etc.\nLearn to develop shop drawings from start to finish.\nLearn to coordinate with other trades – plumbing\, mechanical\, structural\, and electrical.\nPerform manual hydraulic calculations by hand\, preparing the student for a more natural decision-making process when using a computer to perform hydraulics.\nPrepare shop drawings in class for projects with different applications.\n\nPrerequisites:\nThis class is designed for trainees and entry-level technicians with at least six months of experience as well as those with experience in the sprinkler trade looking to make the transition to system layout. \nJuly – San Diego; September – Dallas; November – Orlando \nThe final week of each session will be hosted on location. Hotel location TBD. \nMore Info & Register

SUMMARY:Extended Coverage/Residential Sprinkler Obstructions
DESCRIPTION:Extended coverage sprinklers and residential sprinklers are both known for the larger floor areas they are able to protect.  How does this get impacted by obstructions?  Learn what items are considered obstructions and the needed distances from the sprinklers in order to adequately protect the space.  Not every obstruction can be avoided\, but NFPA 13 provides guidance for many common scenarios. \nLearning Objectives: \n1.    Explain the impact of obstructions on extended coverage sprinklers.\n2.    Explain the impact of obstructions on residential sprinklers.\n3.    Discuss the variations in the rules for pendent\, upright\, and sidewall styles.\n4.    Use the obstruction guidelines to locate extended coverage and residential sprinklers efficiently. \n  \n Learn More and Register\n  \nDetails:  \nRegistration Fees (per person): \nAFSA  Member Without CEU: FREE\nAFSA Member With CEU: $25.00\nAHJ Without CEU: FREE\nAHJ With CEU: $15\nNon-Member: $250 \nContinuing Education Credit: \nThis webinar offers: 0.1 CEUs\, 1.0 CPDs \nTo receive continuing education credits for the webinar\, you must do all of the following: \n\nRegister individually using your name that matches your fitter certification\, if applicable.\nConnect with your unique webinar link.\nDo not share or use someone else’s unique webinar link.\nAttend the webinar in its entirety\nRespond to each checkpoint question\nSubmit a completed evaluation form within 14 days of the webinar\n\nPlease check your time zone to ensure you connect at the right time: \n9:00 AM – 10:00 AM Pacific Time \n10:00 AM – 11:00 AM Mountain Time \n11:00 AM – 12:00 PM Central Time \n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM Eastern Time
