To assist fire sprinkler contractors in maintaining a quality workforce, AFSA offers several training programs for the installation and design layout, and inspection, testing and maintenance of fire sprinkler systems. A popular training course is the Sprinkler Fitter Apprenticeship Training Series, a correspondence course designed specifically for training apprentices in the fire sprinkler trade.
