CSA Qualifications


 
 

Since 2002, Compliance Services and Assessments, LC (CSA) has been developing and administering qualification assessments for fire protection contractors and fire department inspectors.   Using professional proctoring centers around the United States and Canada, CSA can evaluate an individual’s minimum understanding of fire protection and life safety responsibilities.

Individuals who successfully pass a CSA proctored assessment will receive a photo ID card (credit card quality) and a certificate to proudly display their qualifications.  Up to five qualifications can be displayed on a single card with each one having a different expiration date.  These ID cards are used by code enforcement officers to verify the qualifications of individuals installing life safety systems.  Some general contractors require cards to be displayed on a job site to ensure that their sub contractors are qualified and reducing the chance of stop-work orders being issued.  CSA assessment qualifications are not the same as taking an on-line training course.

If you are a code official or fire marshal, CSA may be able to work with you in training / assessing your inspection staff at reduced rates.
