FlareSens Certification Program
No one touches a FlareSens device without certification.
FlareSens is a life-safety product. Certification is the line an engineer crosses before they install, integrate, map or commission a single device — not a badge earned afterwards.
The principle
Certify first. Then deploy.
Most programs let you deploy and certify later. FlareSens doesn’t. No engineer sells, installs, maintains, maps or commissions a device before the certification for that work is issued — and an uncertified install voids the warranty. Life safety leaves no room for learning on a live site.
Two credentials
Split by capability, not by device.
One line runs between them: mapping.
Certified Field Engineer
Install, integrate, maintain and rectify FlareSens devices — CORE and EDGE — plus platform configuration and monitoring.
- Authorized & Premium partners
- Valid 2 years, per engineer
- Mapping and commissioning excluded
Certified Deployment Engineer
Everything a Field Engineer does, plus device mapping and commissioning — the full deployment, with FlareSens supplying only the hardware.
- Premium partners only
- Valid 2 years, per engineer
- Requires FCFE first
Flat per-engineer fees, the same at every tier — no bundle, no free engineer. Running a 24×7 control centre is a separate licence, gated on holding two FCDE engineers.

Before you ask
Common questions.
Do I certify before or after deploying?
Before, always. There is no supported or uncertified deployment of any kind — certification is a hard prerequisite before any engineer installs, integrates, maps or commissions a device. An uncertified install voids the warranty.
Can an individual apply?
No. The program is open to registered companies only — fire-safety deployment requires organisational accountability. Certification is issued per company and priced per engineer.
Do I need FCFE before FCDE?
Yes. FCFE must be held before FCDE, always. Device mapping and commissioning (FCDE) build on everything FCFE covers — mapping is the line between the two.
What if a certified engineer leaves?
You can certify one replacement at 50% of the per-engineer rate, within your active certification period.
What happens if a certification lapses?
A lapsed certification requires full reassessment at the standard fee, after a six-week waiting period. There is no reduced renewal.
Are the fees inclusive of GST?
No. Fees are exclusive of GST, payable in advance, and non-refundable — including where an engineer fails the assessment or leaves.
