Creating dreams is an art. And, like any art, it can be taught. JCO is an approved pyro-technician training centre (F4-T2 qualification applied for since July 2010). It provides training leading to level 1 and 2 certificates at a single unique site consisting of classrooms on a 21 hectare test field, including a 9 hectare lake.
F4-T2 Level 1 and 2 Qualification has been applied for since 4 July 2010, for the implementation of:
– Entertainment pyro-technology of categories 4 and K4
– pyrotechnic products intended for theatre T2.
EVERYTHING CHANGES ON 4 JULY 2017.
The pyro-technician must hold a Level 1 or 2 F4-T2 qualification certificate to use pyrotechnics launched from a mortar such as pyrotechnic bombs which will all be category 4 in accordance with European regulations. On this same date, the French authorisations K1, K2, K3 and K4 will no longer exist and will be replaced by European regulations with categories 1, 2, 3, 4, T1 and T2..
On 4 July 2017, the prefectural agreement currently allowing the implementation of K2 or K3 pyrotechnics launched from a mortar will be obsolete.
