Often Imitated but Never Duplicated!
When others begin to copy your work, it’s a sign you’ve set the Benchmark. Just as with our CCTV course, we’re now seeing our copyrighted FDAS syllabus being mirrored by other training centers.
While course content can be imitated, our world-class equipment, international-grade facility, and proven track record are impossible to duplicate.
We invite you to see the difference yourself, and we remain ready to take legal action against any form of content infringement.

Yes. The certificate you receive upon completing our FDAS training is recognized and honored by the BFP for compliance with fire safety requirements, especially for FDAS installers and integrators. In fact, personnel from the BFP also attend our classes to enhance their knowledge and skills.
There is currently no specific FDAS certification regulated by the Philippine government. However, if you’re looking for a valid path to certify your skills in Fire Detection and Alarm Systems (FDAS), Inventive Media issues a training certificate recognized by the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP). This certificate is required for compliance, especially for FDAS installers and integrators, and is also accepted for both local and overseas employment.
⚠️ Important Reminder: If you encounter any school or training center claiming to offer an official FDAS certification, please report them to the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), as this may be misleading or unauthorized.
