What does an FA-ITM certification permit an individual to do?

The FA-ITM certification allows an individual to maintain automatic fire alarm systems. This involves ensuring that the systems are operational and functioning as intended, conducting regular inspections, and performing necessary repairs and updates to keep the fire alarm systems compliant with safety regulations and standards. This is critical in helping prevent failures that could jeopardize safety during a fire emergency.

The other choices describe activities that extend beyond the maintenance scope, such as programming or installing systems, which typically require different certifications or licenses. While maintaining systems may involve some level of troubleshooting related to programming or configuration, the primary focus of the FA-ITM certification is on upkeep and functionality rather than installation or initial setup.
