PYROTECHNICS
TRAINING
Pyrotechnics are regulated by the Explosives Regulatory Division (ERD) of Natural Resources Canada.
Hi, I'm Mark Fine. I started working with ERD trainers when the certification programs first began.
In 2014 I became one of the first private sector trainers certified by ERD. During the pandemic ERD authorized us to do this course virtually. It's gratifying to know that so many of the folks who have taken our courses have gone on to successful careers in Special Effects.
The "Pyrotechnics Safety and Legal Awareness Course" is the prerequisite for Pyrotechnics Certification in Canada. It allows successful participants to apply for certification as a "Pyrotechnician", the entry level for pyrotechnics certification in Canada.
Our courses are via ZOOM and are accessible from Coast to Coast.
They are a full day, 10AM to 5PM **Eastern Time** (they originate in Toronto)
