Greetings everyone!
I've been doing low voltage work and fire alarms (on and off) in the commercial industry for nearly 20 years. After getting various certifications and so forth, I am at the point where I need NICET certification for fire alarms.
At this point in my career, I feel that I know enough about the trade to pass the NICET with flying colors, but at the same time I'm not foolish enough to think I know something that I've never seen. I've worked with enough inspectors and so forth to learn most of the codes and I think that if I get all of the books, I can do fine.
But in light of all of that, do I need to attend a school in order to complete the certification process or can I go the "self taught" route?
