## Questions

### Does this qualify me to perform sprinkler work?

No. This is a certificate of completion from firesprinklers.fyi, not a licence, accreditation or qualification. It does not authorize design, installation, inspection, testing or regulatory approval.

### Are the local examples rules for my property?

No. Seattle and England examples are labeled by jurisdiction. Check requirements, credentials and approvals with the authority responsible for your property.
