About The Courses
NEW Fireworks Certification Course
The Explosives Regulatory Division in Ottawa has given the green light for the course to be taught online through a webinar so that people can receive their certification while still complying with stay at home requirements.
Who should take the course?
• Anyone wanting to work with professional fireworks.
• Any Fire Department personnel that may be asked to sign off on a show permit or to inspect a show setup. All too often officers are asked to approve a show but do not have the training or education as to what questions to ask or what safety issues to watch out for. We would not ask someone to sign off on a Building, Electrical, Gas or Fire Inspection without the proper training, so signing off on an event in your community that entertains with explosives should receive the same trained and educated oversight.
Obtaining your certification opens an exciting new world of fireworks to you, the fireworks team are performers just like any other, it's just that we are not on stage and work in darkness but the audience loves what we do just like any big name star! Fireworks companies like us are looking to add new crew members to their team so there are opportunities to gain experience, travel, entertain thousands of people and even get paid doing it.
Registration form and more infomation can be found at;
