E-learning Aerosol System Knowledge

Aerosol fire suppression systems are fire protection systems that use aerosol technology to combat fires. These systems generate a fine mist of solid aerosol particles that can extinguish a fire by suppressing flames through negative catalysis. Would you like to expand your knowledge of aerosol systems? You can do so with Kiwa’s e-learning course Aerosol System Knowledge.

Description

This interactive e-learning course includes a mix of text, videos, animations and practice questions. You will learn how to design, implement and manage an aerosol system. You will gain in-depth knowledge of aerosol technology, aerosol generators and fire suppression control systems and discover how to effectively apply aerosol systems in practice. You can complete the e-learning entirely at your own pace, whenever and wherever it suits you.

Target audience 

The e-learning Aerosol System Knowledge is intended for system specialists and designers of aerosol fire suppression systems, also referred to as ‘aerosol design and system engineers’. These professionals work for fire protection companies and are responsible for designing aerosol fire suppression systems in accordance with relevant standards and guidelines.

Level

No prior education is required. The Project Engineer Fire Alarm Systems (Dutch: Projecteringsdeskundige Brandmeldinstallaties) diploma is an advantage.
