FEP Firestop Level 1 - The ‘DIIM’ of Firestop for Fire and Life Safety

The FEP Firestop Level 1 Program, 'The 'DIIM' of FirestopTM for Fire and Life Safety', is the entry point for the FCIA Education Program (FEP). 

In this Firestop Level 1 Program, participants master content covering the elements of the proper 'DIIM' of FirestoppingTM - 'D'esign, 'I'nstallation, 'I'nspection, and 'M'aintaining Protection - to lay the foundation for the next section.

The proper 'DIIM' of FirestoppingTM results in a safer building and improved fire and life safety systems in buildings.
