The PGI does not issue any licenses or certificates related to such fireworks and does NOT endorse using our or any other training to become eligible to purchase such fireworks.
Each state determines who is qualified to purchase professional use only materials. The best place to get that answer would be either your local Fire Marshal or State Fire Marshal’s Office.
At our convention, we offer the PGI Display Operator Certification course. This course provides information regarding the safe setup of a professional display. However, it does not qualify anyone to purchase 1.3g (display) or 1.4g professional use only products. Additional classes can be found on our website- PGI.org. Many vendors accept our training certificate for the purpose of purchasing professional use only products, however the PGI does not condone or endorse this practice.
We do offer a display fireworks operator training course. That course does NOT address the use of Articles Pyrotechnic/Pro Line Fireworks. Even though the curriculum of the class is based on use of 1.3g fireworks, there is still a significant amount of information that can be applied to any display.
We also plan to offer a course on the Saturday at the beginning of the convention this year to focus on Articles Pyrotechnic. You would not have to be a PGI member or registered for the convention event to attend this class and to receive a certificate of course completion.
