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 layouts\, 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 and those with experience in the sprinkler trade looking to transition to system layout. \nThe final week of each session will be hosted on location. Hotel location TBD. \n Learn More and Register

SUMMARY:Hydraulic Calculations - AHJ Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Join our webinar to learn how to understand sprinkler hydraulic calculation sheets\, including common notations\, pinch points\, and basic calculations. The webinar will break down the key information needed in these sheets and explain the equations used to find it. It also explore important areas to focus on when reviewing hydraulic calculations. \nRegistration ends 4/9/2024 at midnight. \n  \n Learn More and Register

SUMMARY:Fire Pump ITM Workshop
DESCRIPTION:AFSA’s Fire Pump ITM Workshop is designed to provide ITM technicians\, Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs)\, and facilities managers with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills related to fire pump installations and the necessary ITM procedures. Participants will gain a deep understanding of the key differences between diesel and electric-driven fire pumps\, engage in hands-on exercises to perform no-flow and full-flow fire pump tests and learn the ITM requirements for water storage tanks. Hands-on activities\, including energy diffuser selection\, data acquisition\, supply graphing\, and data interpretation\, will help participants solidify their understanding of stationary fire pumps for fire protection. \nLearning Objectives:\nUpon completion\, participants will be able to: \n\nExplain codes\, standards\, and the roles and responsibilities of the parties involved in the inspection\, testing\, and maintenance of water-based fire protection systems.\nComparing and contrasting the components of different types of water-based fire protection systems.\nIdentify the operation and required NFPA 25 periodic inspection\, testing\, and maintenance requirements for common components\, sprinkler systems\,  wet systems\, and dry systems in water-based fire protection systems.\nExecute the NFPA 25 requirements for the no-flow testing of fire pumps\n\n Learn More and Register
