General Information
The FED Learning Center’s vision is to provide an industry-specific, educational experience to not only satisfy various student job requirements but to expand their knowledge, technical expertise, and natural curiosity to help the industry, as a whole, evolving for a better, safer tomorrow.
Anyone with a role in the Fire and Life Safety industry can benefit from the industry-specific knowledge provided by the FED Learning Center including Technicians, Sales and Service Professionals, Managers, AHJs/Inspectors, and Facility Management and Safety Professionals.
In late 2017, Fire and Life Safety industry leaders came together to address challenges in employee hiring, retention, and training. They focused on the need for improved technical training for the workers responsible for maintenance, inspection, and repairs in the fire suppression and safety field. The end result was the FED Learning Center (FEDLC)—an educational platform supporting the training and developmental needs of the fire and life safety industry.
To optimize the educational value of the program, several industry experts participated in developing the content, the facilities, and the platform, including many Engineers, Product Specialists, Code Professionals, Curriculum Designers, and e-Learning experts. The courses are considered to be the “gold standard” in the industry. And, since no two people learn exactly the same, the FED Learning Center takes great care to ensure the instructional design offers something for everyone, in all levels of experience, through a variety of educational styles and methods. After development all courses are submitted to the ICC (International Code Council) as well as other certifying authorities for approval.
The FED Learning Center program is designed for individual registered users; however, we believe the more people properly trained the safer we all are! if you have a team to train we are glad to work with you to customize something that best meets your group’s needs. To discuss more please email Support@FEDLearningCenter.com.

The FED Learning Center’s program combines individual Membership with Member Sponsorship to give both the learner and their employer all of the tools and information they need to manage comprehensive training needs.
