Course on NFPA 20 standard, edition 2025 – Installation of stationary pumps for fire protection (course in English)

Instructions for enrollment: click here

 

This training course on NFPA 20 – Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection guides participants through the entire life cycle of a stationary fire pump, from design and installation to commissioning, inspection, testing and maintenance (ITM).

The course is particularly suitable not only for companies involved in the design, installation and maintenance of fire-fighting systems, but also for risk engineers working for insurance companies and brokers, who need to gain an in-depth understanding of the technical and regulatory requirements of fire pumps in order to:

  • correctly assess the suitability of the solutions installed,
  • identify recurring critical issues during the design, installation or management phases,
  • provide qualified support for loss prevention and risk assessment activities.

When an organisation is responsible for the installation, testing and maintenance of fixed fire pumps, or when such systems are a key factor in insurance risk assessment, it is essential that the personnel involved are up to date with the latest requirements of NFPA 20. Investing in training improves the technical quality of decisions, reduces risk exposure and enhances the professional competence of the personnel involved.

The course lasts 2 days (14 hours) and will be held on 14 and 15 May 2026.

The course can be purchased individually or in combination (bundle) with the NFPA 13 – Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems course:

  • Course NFPA 20 (stand-alone): €1.350 + IVA
  • NFPA 13 + NFPA 20 bundled solution: €2,950 + VAT (instead of €3,300 + VAT)

The bundled option is designed for those who want comprehensive training on the main active fire protection systems, providing an integrated overview of sprinkler systems and fire-fighting pump systems.

Course on NFPA13 – Standard for the installation of sprinkler systems (course in Italian)

Instructions for enrollment: click here

 

This training course on NFPA 13 – Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems (2025) allows participants to deepen and strengthen the skills necessary to correctly interpret and apply the design, installation and analysis requirements for automatic sprinkler systems, through live, interactive, instructor-led training.

The course takes participants into a realistic digital industrial and logistics environment, where they will need to apply the requirements of NFPA 13, analyse real scenarios, evaluate alternative solutions and make technical decisions in real time. The teaching approach is designed to develop a concrete and operational understanding of regulatory criteria, going beyond simply reading the standard.

The course is suitable for fire safety designers, installers, maintenance technicians, engineering companies, as well as risk engineers working for insurance companies and brokers, for whom the correct assessment of sprinkler systems is a key element in loss prevention, risk assessment and asset protection activities.

Interactive training covers a wide range of NFPA 13 requirements and improves your ability to:

  • identify and correctly interpret the applicable requirements,

  • design and analyse sprinkler systems according to risk,

  • assess the suitability of solutions adopted in industrial and warehouse contexts.

The training course is enriched by collaborative exercises and instructor-led discussions, offering a structured and practical overview of the main protection strategies using sprinkler systems.

The online course has a total duration of 21 hours, spread over two weeks on the following dates: 29–30 June, 1 and 6–7 July 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. CET.

The course can be purchased individually or as part of a bundle with the NFPA 20 – Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection course:

  • Course NFPA 13 (stand-alone): €1.950 + VAT

  • NFPA 13 + NFPA 20 bundled solution: €2,950 + VAT (instead of €3,300 + VAT)

The bundled option is designed for those who want a comprehensive and consistent training programme on the main active fire protection systems, promoting an integrated view of sprinkler systems and fire-fighting pumping systems.

Course on NFPA25 – Standard for inspection, testing and maintenance of fire protection systems (course in English)

Instructions for enrollment: click here

 

This training course on NFPA 25 – Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems (2026 edition) enables participants to develop the skills needed to properly recognize, interpret, and apply inspection, testing, and maintenance (ITM) activities for water-based fire protection systems through live, interactive, instructor-led training.

The course provides a structured understanding of ITM activities, with an innovative approach based on time frequencies (time-based) rather than individual system components, making it easier to identify when activities should be performed and by whom. This approach reflects the approach of the NFPA 25 standard and enables more effective operational management of maintenance.

The objective of the course is to support participants in ensuring regulatory compliance and, most importantly, ensuring that fire protection systems are operational and effective in times of need, contributing to the protection of people and property.

The course is suitable for all professionals involved in the inspection, testing, and maintenance of water-based fire protection systems, including facility managers, engineers, contractors, maintenance personnel, and authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs), as well as risk engineers and insurance professionals.

Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Identify the purpose, structure and organization of the NFPA 25 standard,
  • Recognize when specific ITM activities are to be performed and by whom,
  • Describe the operation of the main sprinkler systems (wet pipe, dry pipe, preaction, deluge),
  • Determine the correct frequencies of inspection, testing and maintenance activities,
  • distinguish between impairment, critical deficiency and noncritical deficiency,
  • Identify ITM requirements applicable to different operating frequencies.

The training integrates theoretical content and practical examples, supported by instructor-led exercises and discussions, to ensure a concrete and immediately applicable understanding of regulatory requirements.

The course has a total duration of 7 hours and earns 0.7 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) upon completion of the entire program and final assessment.

The course can be purchased individually or in combination (bundle) with other courses in the Water-Based Fire Protection series, delivered in Italy, including NFPA 13 and/or NFPA20 course: in this case a 10% discount applies to the total.

NFPA 25 course (stand-alone): €700 + VAT

The bundled option is designed for those who want a comprehensive and consistent training programme on the main active fire protection systems, promoting an integrated view of sprinkler systems and fire-fighting pumping systems.
