SUMMARY:Inspection\, Testing & Maintenance: Inspector Development Program Fall 2025 Begins
DESCRIPTION:NICET Level II Ready in 20 Months\nThe AFSA ITM Inspector Development Program utilizes a blended-learning format with on-demand lessons\, webinars\, and in-person training. The training course is combined with a robustly structured on-the-job training (OJT) and mentoring program\, with the goal that candidates pass the NICET Level II water-based inspection certification exam in less than two years. \nNICET Level I & II Exam Passage Rate is 30% Above the National Average\nAFSA ITM Program graduates achieve a 93% pass rate on NICET Level I & II exams*\, exceeding the national average of 60%. \n*AFSA makes no implied or expressed warranty that studying these materials or passing the assessments or exams will ensure passage of the related NICET exams or certification by NICET.\nThis comprehensive program provides recommendations for implementation at every level and the need for a successful\, ongoing program right from the start\, including: \n\nHiring recommendations\nApplicant screening tips\nTraining record keeping\nPayscale suggestions\nProgressive training guidelines\nCandidate sample promissory note\n\nWhat’s Involved?\nTHREE KEY FIGURES play pivotal roles in the success of AFSA’s ITM Inspector Development Program. \nAFSA\nDeliver a blended learning environment to include: \n\n56 hours of on-demand courses\n22 hours of live\, interactive web instruction\nLive in-class lecture\nHands-on field and lab inspections and testing training\nLimited class size maximizes student learning outcomes\nProvide a guided and systematic process for the ‘green’ inspector trainee toward NICET I and NICET II certifications\nEncourage and foster character-building traits: honesty\, integrity\, confidence\, professionalism\, neat appearance\, organization\, reliability\, accountability\, and credibility\nStrengthen communication skills\, both written (for noting inspection and testing observations) and verbal (communicating with customers)\nTraining and development program developed by seasoned industry experts with 65+ years of combined industry experience and 50+ years of teaching the fire protection community around the globe\n\nStudent\, the New Inspector\n\nCommit approximately 3 hours a week to program studies (much is online and on-demand).\nKeep pace with program activities\, including OJT tasks led by your supervisor as recommended in the program. OJT helps to ensure your readiness for pre-scheduled NICET exams.\nPursue studies to attain passing scores of 70+ on each assessment and exam.\nMaintain a professional appearance and demeanor. You are the face of your company!\n\nEmployer\n\nVet/recruit the right candidate(s) for this program. Consider a probationary period and use a promissory note (template included in the program) before enrollment.\nDesignate an in-house supervisor/instructor to oversee students’ ITM training.\nAdhere to program activities and related timelines regarding OJT tasks as recommended.\n\nInvolves documenting and verifying work experience as required by NICET as part of their certification process.\nEnsures the student keeps pace within the program cycle and is duly prepared as each new phase of this comprehensive 20-month program begins.

SUMMARY:Corrosion in Sprinkler Systems: A Look at a Long-Term Experiment
DESCRIPTION:Internal corrosion of fire sprinkler systems is a major concern in the reliability and life of the system(s). Corrosion in sprinkler systems can affect the system’s hydraulics and cause system leakage\, which may result in property damage\, as well as significant replacement costs. Fire sprinkler systems are subject to deterioration through different forms of corrosion. This webinar looks at the types of corrosion that occur in sprinkler systems\, different methods of mitigating corrosion\, and an overview and update to the long-term corrosion research project at Oklahoma State University. \nThe registration deadline is 11:59 PM the day before the webinar. \n Register & More Info\n  \n
