Supporters
The ASP has the support of the following organistations:
I found that my knowledge on basic and more complex Pyro is now sufficient
enough to help me in the world or freelance and at my theatre!
I would feel confident in the checking, using and setting up of simple rigs!
I look forward to using the courses teaching in the future
The course has given me the confidence to use pyrotechnics and expanded my knowledge
in safe practices and procedures. The course not only shows what different pyrotechnics
there are but also the different ways of setting them up, it was very informative but
fun at the same time.
