Frequently Asked Questions
What are the prerequisites for this course?
- Basic computer operation skills.
- Basic knowledge in electronics and electrical is an advantage though not required.
Is the FDAS training certificate recognized by the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP)?
The certificate you receive upon completing our FDAS training is honored by the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) for compliance with fire safety requirements. This is a critical credential for FDAS installers, system integrators, and safety practitioners.
“In fact, personnel from the BFP regularly attend our sessions to enhance their knowledge of modern fire detection technologies.”
Why this matters for your career:
- Validated for Local and Overseas employment.
- Accepted for Government (PhilGEPS) project bidding.
- Required for Building Occupancy Permits and safety audits.
Are some training centers offering "Fake" FDAS Certifications?
Currently, no specific “FDAS Board Certification” is regulated by the Philippine government. Any center claiming to provide a “National FDAS License” is misleading the public.
The Valid Path for Professionals:
While a government-issued license for FDAS does not exist, a Valid Training Certificate is strictly required for industry compliance. Inventive Media issues a high-standard Training Certificate that is:
- BFP Recognized: Accepted by the Bureau of Fire Protection for installers and integrators.
- Compliance-Ready: Necessary for safety inspectors and building maintenance teams.
- Career-Focused: Highly valued for both local and overseas employment applications.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: If a school claims to offer an “Official Government FDAS Certification,” please report them to the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) to prevent further unauthorized claims.
