Fire Protection Training & Certification

Links to NICET pages for water-based fire protection certifications. NICET runs these programs. WOLF1956 does not.

The National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies (NICET) administers certification. WOLF1956 does not offer NICET certification, does not administer exams, and does not decide who is certified. WOLF1956 has no affiliation with, and is not endorsed by, NICET.

The links below go to NICET’s website (and to Pearson VUE, the testing vendor NICET currently uses). Confirm requirements, fees, and scheduling details on those official pages, because they change.
