A fire and life security (FLS) director Training plans should be organized and organized to address general subjects, fire safety and non-age emergencies in less than 31 hours of training. All approved FLS director training schools are recognized to provide full FLS director course, but the course must be separated into two main components.

Course component

Component 1 is a general theme and fire course, which requires a minimum of 20 hours. This component includes part I: General topics: Covering Chapter 1 to 8 in the FLSD course, and Part II: Four Safety Training, including chapters 9 to 12. The subjects of this section include extensive fire safety and contingency plan, legal requirements, FLS employees, firefighters, fire and other fire safety.

The component 2 is a non-age emergency course, which requires a minimum of 11 hours. This includes Part III: Non-age Emergency Training (Chapters 13 to 17), and Part IV: Active shooter and medical emergency preparations (chapters 18 and 19). Minimum two hours Within this component, the elevator is dedicated to emergency operations and practical performance in four alarm panel operations, which are wide in Part V (chapters 20 to 22).

Accredited schools should take a final exam after completion of each course component or section (two exams for a complete 31-hour FLS director’s course). These final exams are additional to the required minimum training hours.

FLS director qualification

In order to qualify for FLS Director Fitness, applicants must be at least 18 years of age, should have a proper understanding of the English language, and presented satisfactory evidence of character and previous employment. Candidates should have at least three years of work experience in all time in areas such as fire extinguishing, fire safety or 18 -month experience, including 18 months of experience, including continuous employment of six months in one place. In addition, they must complete the FDNY-approved FLS director’s training course and pass both the exams on the written and the website.

Certification process

The certification process for a new F-89/T-89 Fitness certificate begins with the implementation of a 31-hour director course. After training, the applicant will have to pass FDNY Fire Component Computer Based Testing (CBT) and then to FDNY Non-Fire CBT. By passing both the exam and the qualifying criteria, a completion certificate is issued, which allows the candidate to plan the survey on site for the F-89 or T-89 certification based on the plant type.

Duties and responsibilities
