Dead simple, this course is the only one recognised by the insurers as adequate training for having your own firewoeks firing company.

However the course will not give you all the experience you need, you do need to fire professional shows to get that experience.

Currently, compliant access to cat4 -pro user only- supplies requires some evidence of

Training
Experience
insurance
Storage to MSER

So this course - like any other! ia only part of the needs for access to cat 4

However this course is the best one available to keep the cost of the first year's insurance premium down!

Arthur, I think many of us would like to attend the course, but before we do, can you give us some idea of the various costs of insurance policies involved in firing, storage, transport & manufacture of fireworks?

[Spyrotechnics]

If you are hesitant to spend a small sum on a training course then I sdoubt very much you will be forming your own display company.

Excuse me Starsky72, What gave you the idea my question was for you?..........did you not see that it was directed towards Arthur for a reply!

[Spyrotechnics]

No need to get your knickers in a twist.

It's a simple statement from someone who runs his own company and knows a little bit about costs involved

Starsky does run his own firing business, Spyrotechnics, so he speaks from experience.

I think the "gist" of his point was that there are lots of costs involved with running a fireworks display business.

Steady on starsky72, no one at all is getting there knickers in a twist! ...........what is YOUR problem?, no one asked you for a statement in the first place!, my original question was clearly directed towards Arthur!.....or am I to believe you are his official spokesperson?

If you claim to run your own company, and you think you know a little about the costs involved in this particular industry, then why not impart your knowledge, instead trying to adopt an obnoxious antagonistic mentality?.........OMG, are you one of these new breed of on-line hoodies in disguise?.......you are arn`t you.......admit it!

Im not sure you should be allowed to play with fireworks!...........your clearly in no healthy mental condition!

[cooperman435]

WoooooAHHHH there girls.

Please remember this is a PUBLIC forum so anyone can read and reply. Unless you specifically PM someone then expect to have replies and comments from anyone who feels the desire to do so. THATS THE POINT OF A FORUM!

I think it was a valid question and answer so theres no need for this kina behaviour.

I think your response says more than enough, I just hope Arthur Brown takes all these things into consideration when allowing people access to this training course, I am sure the course tutor would be very interested to know how aggressive you are.

Crystal Palace Fireworks, it might be a good idea just to cool down a little. One of the strengths of this board is the polite, sensible way in which members interact with each other. Please maintain that.

[digger]

Back on topic. Badger have you taken your name off the list?

Stuart, with respect, you did make assumptive and un-called for comments towards me on hesitancy and forming my own display company to an original innocent & logical question directed to Arthur....... which really has no basis for an argument or interpretation!

How do you know what my intentions are anyway? do you seroiusly think you can go around undermining forum members without getting a reply in the way you did?.........I will defend myself in manner that is clearly jovial and not intended to be offensive!

I appologized if I have offended you, but its only decent for you to do the same thing.........given you started it!

end of discussion!

P.S - If want to know more about me, and my connections to the industry, then please ask...I will be glad to accomodate you!

[Spyrotechnics]

I have no desire to know anything more about you or your connections with the industry, I think you have said enough.

You stated that many of you would like to attend the course but needed to know the costs associated with running a fireworks display company, namely insurance, storage etc etc before you committed to the training course.

My opinion, which hasn't changed, is that anyone who is hesitant about spending £150 max on a training course (that has the endorsement of the countries few insurance brokers) isn't in a position to starting their own display company. There was no personal attack, no name calling, no doubting of capability mentally etc

Arthur Brown has taken a lot of time to organise this training, I have had a number of phone calls with him discussing various aspects of the industry including training. He has chosen a very knowledgeable person to run the course and anyone attending it will get a lot out of it.

Oh well I have apologized, and you have not done so!.......what more can I say?

A copy of Arthurs last post in an attempt to get this thread back on track, I apologise for instigating the drift
