NFPA Standards Used for Fire Protection Exams
If you are taking any of NICET's exams in Fire Protection Engineering Technology, you should check which version of the NFPA codes we will be using for the exam questions as you must bring copies of the standards to your test. If you have a more recent version than the version we are using, you may use your more current version and indicate which version you are using on your challenge paper. To check, go to www.nicet.org and click on "Program Detail Manuals." Printed at the end of the list of Fire Protection manuals, you will find Standard Editions Referenced in Fire Protection Exams. This list was updated May 2003.

Has It Been Five Years Since You Tested?
Just a reminder: if you tested years ago and you are not yet certified, please check the date on your last score report. Remember that NICET will delete your test history on the fifth anniversary of your last test date if you are not certified in the technical area in which you tested.
