About Me

Hi! My name is John, and this is the home of my fire alarm certification journey: firealarmcertification.com. For over 30 years, I have been working in a low-voltage contracting firm in Southern California, specializing in fire alarm systems.

My experience with NICET (National Institute for Certification in Engineering) began many years ago. I passed Level 1, but life and a busy work schedule put my progress toward further certification on hold. A lot has changed since then. Due to some major medical issues, I was unable to renew my certification, and it has since lapsed, meaning I have to start the entire process again from the beginning.

This time, I’m documenting everything. Through this site, I intend to give back to the community by sharing my journey. You’ll find free articles here, along with notes on my progress and the general strategies I’m discovering as I relearn the material.

My father once told me there is no better way to learn something than to teach it. Taking his advice to heart, I am also channeling my efforts into creating a comprehensive, in-depth NICET study guide for fire alarm systems. While my journey and notes will be shared openly, these structured materials are the result of countless hours of focused work. I believe they will provide immense value for those who want a complete roadmap to successfully pass the NICET exam for fire alarm.

Thank you for joining me. Best of luck to all who are on this journey with us.
John.
