NFPA On-Line Training

[fireguy]

As we all know, getting good training can be difficult to find and to finance. Has anyone had any experience with http://www.nfpa.org/catalog/product.asp?pid=OL021 ?

They have courses on NFPA 70, 72, 13, 20 & 25.

Yes, very good IMHO

Public training in this industry is scarce so it's going to be pricey pretty much everywhere you can find it. I'm not sure what your level is for fire alarms but on youtube a guy named Joe Kochlan, ( I think that's how it's spelled) put out about 20 videos on wiring up devices and basic functions, etc. Otherwise, if you're planning on NICET testing, you're going to need to get some code books regardless. You may as well check the current editions used on the NICET website and start getting familiar with where to find info.

Oh, yeah, also check Amazon for your books.
