… and after lunch, delegates are separated into small groups and provided with control systems and pyrotechnic devices and required to set up and ignite the effects in a "not too serious competitive" manner to demonstrate their ability and understanding of the safety issues referred to in the morning session. 3 points being awarded for correct ignition and control of devices

and 10 points for igniting something belonging to another group!!! ...

We are sure you get the idea !

Towards the end of the afternoon session we rejoin the separated groups to work

together to provide a small presentation using professional devices including

Grid Rockets, Flames, Airbursts, Saxon Wheels, Waterfalls, Mines and Comets.

If this is of interest to you and you have the ability to influence your management to host a

Just FX pyro safety training course, please pass these details on to that person

and ask them to make contact with us.

And "yes" we do provide a certificate of training at the end of the course.
