You will undergo a comprehensive 12-week "on-the-job" program. You’ll shadow experts across blue-chip sites, learning the installation, servicing, and repair of Fire Alarms, Voice Alarms, and Emergency Call Systems. We also provide a tailored, industry-recognised external training package to cement your qualifications.
