"Principles of Smoke Movement in Buildings"

Do you keep failing NICET Work Element #35004?

If you are concerned that you will delay your NICET Certification by failing this Work Element, or if you need CPD points for NICET re-certification, renewal or re-instatement, then consider an Electronic Course.   We are rolling out our first electronic course - SmokeMovement®.  It is based on NICET Work Element 35004 called "Principles of Smoke Movement in Buildings".

This one-hour+ electronic class can be downloaded right to your home PC.  It may be taken, or viewed, as many times as you wish during your own personal sixteen-week course session.

NEWS FLASH!

Sometime in 2010, NICET will begin their changeover to computer-based testing.   NICET's new PC exam is currently being Beta tested by volunteers at the end of 2009.  This means that sometime in 2010, NICET will be changing from their traditional pencil and paper test format, presently given at local colleges and universities, to local private testing centers.  While our software programs were originally designed to follow the Work Element test scheme, the new computerized tests will no longer be broken down into specific Work Elements.   However, those taking the new PC based exam will still be tested on the same knowledge, except it will be a single test with Work Element subject matter mixed throughout.   It will be a Pass/Fail test.   Doing poorly in several specific subject areas will cause you to fail the test, and the entire test will have to be re-taken.  In other words, you will no longer be answering questions grouped into subject specific areas such as Safety or Smoke Detection.   This will mean that our practice test software should become even more valuable since it will indicate weak subject areas in your personal fire alarm knowledge.
