Studies and education required to become a pyrotechnician for performances.
There aren't really any specific school courses for practicing the profession of show pyrotechnician or fireworks specialist. One simply needs to follow a F4T2 training for a few days organized by companies that design and organize fireworks shows. This training is open to anyone over 18 years old. It is composed of 2 levels, with the first level familiarizing participants with pyrotechnic composition, and the second level training them in setting up and shooting different classes and types of fireworks. At the end of the training, each participant receives a C4-T2 certificate issued by the prefecture of the department, valid for 5 years. This certificate validates the specialist's competence (knowledge of explosive products, fixing the fireworks, transport rules, safety instructions, etc.). No margin for error is tolerated when putting on a fireworks festival, so it is important to be serious, rigorous, and patient to work in this field. Knowledge of strict safety rules, endurance, teamwork, and responsiveness are also essential qualities for becoming a pyrotechnician. It is also necessary to have nerves of steel because fireworks shows often take place at midnight, which can be a source of stress. With years of experience, a pyrotechnician can become a master pyrotechnician. They can design their own fireworks shows and lead a team, or work alone. In this field, artistic sensitivity is also essential to create beautiful fire designs.
