The Special Hazards Element Handbook - NICET Level 1 & 2 is a step-by-step guide, prepared by two authors with a combined 55 years in the field. This volume was written to demystify the NICET Certification process.

Currently considered an important evaluation process in the 20+ states and in some there are even requirements for NICET certification for system designers, installers, and contractors. It is expected that even more states will follow. Many more states, counties, and cities allow either level 3 certificate holder or PE to sign fire alarm systems design drawings.

This Special Hazards Handbook clarifies the requirements necessary for certification you will need in addition to passing the exam; namely work experience and the supervisor evaluation. Following the guide is a review of all Level 1 and Level 2 elements, a Glossary of terms, and a number of appendixes.
