CFCC’s Fire Alarm Systems Training (FAST) program launched in May 2012. In January 2022, the program evolved into two and four-year apprenticeship programs. Fire Alarms Systems Training and Apprenticeship Programs (FASTAP) start at any time during the year at the company’s request. Regular classes start the first Monday in January, May, and September.
Graduates of the program are ready to sit for the National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies (NICET) and according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual wage is $50,210. Jobs are available in many industries such as facilities support services, building construction, and architectural and engineering firms.
