  • Live device demonstrations
  • Videos
  • Handouts
  • An observation exercise
  • Delegates pressing buttons
  • History

Equipment and devices used, demonstrated or viewed during the course include products from   BECTU pyrotechnics course

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 JustFX pyro safety training course, please pass these details on to that person and ask them to make contact with us or with BECTU who could possibly run the course in partnership with Just FX..

 And "yes" we do provide a certificate of training at the end of the course. For more info check out Just FX
