IDEA has established a program to validate the credentials of individuals who have experience and skills in the installation and service of Rolling Steel Fire Doors.

Fire doors are an important component to public safety. These products are specifically designed to protect property and minimize damage resulting from accidental fires. This essential safety feature, when properly installed and maintained, not only reduces financial loss in the event of a fire emergency, it also protects lives.

Technician expertise is an essential element of a safely and properly functioning fire door. The Institute of Door Dealer Education and Accreditation has established a program to validate the credentials of individuals who have experience and skills in the installation and service of Rolling Steel Fire Doors.

Once the course is completed and exam is passed, a technician is not yet certified until they perform drop tests.

Applicants must submit drop test forms to IDEA on a points-earned basis. One point will be granted for unique new installations and 1/2 point for each annual drop test or other drop test of a previously installed rolling steel fire door. Up to two applicants may earn points based on a single drop test form. Applicants must submit forms earning a minimum of 10 points.

Eligible technicians are those who:

• Have two or more years field experience installing and servicing rolling steel fire doors
• Are verified by an IDEA-Sanctioned Trainer or company trainer to be qualified to install and service rolling steel fire doors
• Can meet a points-based system for documenting field experience requirements

In addition to meeting the qualifying criteria, applicants must successfully pass a written examination based on a comprehensive study guide published by IDEA. Applicants should be advised that the Rolling Steel Fire Door Technician Certification examination is based on a high degree of difficulty and is designed to validate exceptional expertise rather than fundamental knowledge. Student MUST study in advance using the Study Guide within the course confirmation email.

Upon completing all of these steps and passing the written examination, the applicant is awarded the designation Certified Rolling Steel Fire Door Technician.

Are you a technician that has already taken the exam, but didn't receive a passing grade? You can register to re-write the exam here.
