Thanks to everyone for the help, its really made me feel welcome

Unfortunately due to the applications having to be in very soon and it being a big choice ive gone for a physics degree as it opens up much more doors than other degrees. Hopefully though it will still allow me to get a pyrotechnics job, if not i'll take it up as a hobby so i'll still be around.

Many thanks again, Jacob

PS, can anyone recommend any good books please?

Hello Dean, thankyou for the welcome to the forum and the advice. I guess experiance is always the best way to make it into an industry, are there any courses i should take before offering to help? Such as safety courses etc?

Thanks again,
Jacob

Hello, my name is Jacob and I’m now coming to the end of my college course after studying Maths, Chemistry and Physics. I am interested in Pyrotechnics as a carer (possibly movie special effects or fireworks, possibly even demolition) but I am wondering what course would be best to take to get me into the industry. I am very interested in pyrotechnics and explosions and very good at mechanics, however i have only seen stage pyrotechnic courses which require art and computer qualifications which I do not have. I was wandering whether a course in Physics/Chemistry could be taken to lead on to a job in pyrotechnics. Any advice would be much appreciated and well received.

Many Thanks,
Jacob

PS ive only just noticed the training forum, if anyone could please move this post to the correct forum it would be much appreciated
