Domestic and Residential Sprinkler Installation is a distance learning Self-Study Module that has been designed to enhance the skills of the plumber, so that Domestic and Residential Sprinkler Systems Installation work can be carried out competently.

The Study Module is packed with knowledge, information and advice, and concludes with a short multi-choice question assessment for you to complete and return to us for marking and feedback.

On successful completion of the self-study module you will receive a Record of Achievement, which is an essential prerequisite before going on to prove competence by putting your knowledge into practice to obtain the British Automatic Sprinkler Association’s Domestic and Residential Sprinkler Systems Installation certificate

This is by means of a short practical training and assessment carried out by BASA or the RSA.

The total cost of the Study Module is £30 and this includes postage, marking your answers to the summary questions and issue of a personalised Record of Achievement.
