Here's what people have said in our in our post-course surveys,

​

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

There’s nothing more I could have asked for out of the course. 

​

Toronto - Honestly, all my needs and expectations for the course were beyond exceeded.

I can’t pinpoint anything I think we needed to dig deeper into. 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 - It was everything I expected to learn and more. 

 

Toronto (NABET) - I felt that Mark presented everything that needed

to be said, well and in a timely manner. 

 

Vancouver - I thoroughly enjoyed the course, well-structured and fun.

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

PYROTECHNICS

TRAINING

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. This allows successful participants to apply for certification as a "Pyrotechnician", the entry level for pyrotechnics certification in Canada.

Special Effect Pyrotechnics (Type F.3) are high-hazard pyrotechnics articles designed for use by professionals.
These articles are used in theatrical productions & concerts and on film and TV sets.
