Steps
Join FCIA as a contractor, manufacturer, or industry-affiliate member to access the Manual of Practice and member-only resources.
Use the multi-level Firestop Education Program (FEP), starting with the Level 0 'Firestopping 101: The Basics' course for staff new to the trade.
Reference the FCIA Manual of Practice (MOP) as the primary study document underlying both the FM 4991 and UL QFCP DRI exams.
For containment/removal-specific work, access the FCIA Firestop Containment Worker education program and manual, noting it is member-exclusive.
Attend FCIA conferences for exam-review sessions and continuing-education credit that also counts toward DRI recertification requirements.
Known gotchas
Some resources, such as the Firestop Containment Worker program, are member-exclusive and not publicly downloadable — check current fcia.org membership tiers before assuming open access.
FEP course lineup and pricing change over time — verify the current course catalog and cost directly on fcia.org rather than relying on an older program list.
FCIA has offered the MOP as a free download; confirm current access terms on fcia.org before committing to a distribution plan with a client.
