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.

These articles are used in theatrical productions & concerts and on film and TV sets.
