Your hours count toward a license
Florida doesn't issue a state license to the person who installs a fire sprinkler system. To contract for water sprinkler system work, you need a fire protection system Contractor II certificate from the Florida Division of State Fire Marshal.

Pay: Each program pays you from day one. FDOE reports your pay on day one and your pay at completion (your hourly pay by the time you complete the program) as yearly figures. The hourly rates are the yearly figures divided by 2,080 hours.
Every bar uses the same scale. The city is the one on the program's registration, and it's often an office or a union hall.
