The NICET BASIC work elements include discussions of fire protection-related drafting, selection and use of NFPA standards, fire protection plans and symbols, building codes, metric conversions, combustion theory, mathematics, and physics. Our reviews of math and physics alone may justify the total program cost.

NICET BASIC concludes with general discussions on several subjects which are of particular interest to the upwardly mobile fire protection certification candidate. Specifically: communication skills, construction plans, specifications and cost estimates, and contracts.

The Fire Alarm portion of this program contains 4 study modules:

1. Module I covers the basics of Fire Alarm system design, electrical theory and wiring, fire alarm components, system tests, and installation practices.
2. Module II contains thirty-two work element discussions. It establishes the design, installation, testing, and maintenance parameters necessary for compliance with the NFPA standards. Specifically addressed are the design, spacing, testing and application of heat, smoke, and radiant-energy sensing detectors. Appropriate detection and supervision concepts are also evaluated. Among the various subject-specific work elements completing this module is an extensive problem-solving exercise in mathematics.
3. Module III contains eighteen Level III work element discussions. Highlighting this module are extensive discussions on smoke movement in buildings, electronics, and combustion principles.
4. Module IV concludes the entire program with sixteen Level IV work element discussions. An important detector spacing analysis is included here as are several "business-type" reviews including project scheduling, contracts, and bid packages. Technical analyses of radiant-energy sensing detectors and computer/microprocessor based fire alarm systems conclude this module.
