Here's what people have said about our courses.

​

Toronto (NABET)- Everything was well timed and helpful.

There’s nothing more I could have asked for. 

​Toronto - Honestly, all my needs and expectations for the course were beyond exceeded. I had a blast!  
Ottawa - I am glad the course was available on line.

For people like me who are out of town that was very convenient. It was the deciding factor. 

St. John, NL - Everything I expected to learn and more. 

Toronto (NABET) - Mark presented everything that needed

to be said, well and in a timely manner. 

Vancouver - Well-structured and fun.

Great real-world insight and stories! I give it a 5 of out 5!

PYROTECHNICS

TRAINING

I worked with ERD trainers from the very beginning of the  certification program. In 2014 I became one of ERD's first private-sector trainers. During the pandemic ERD authorized us to do this course virtually.
