PGI Training Course

 

RKM Fireworks will be holding our Spring training April 26, 2025 at the Elkhart 4-H fairgrounds. It will be a full day event.  Registration will start at 8 am EST, class starts at 9 am EST.

 

The PGI Display Operator Certification (DOC) Course, or PGI Course, is designed to meet the need for both a "Basic" course in Fireworks Display Safety and as the first step in an optional Certification Process, which when completed, results in the successful trainee becoming a PGI Certified Display Operator. More info in the benefits of the course can be found at the PGI Website.  

The class is $100 per person, which includes textbook, lunch, dinner, and snacks. (3% fee if paying with card or PayPal). Please RSVP by April 17th by filling out the sign up form on our website, sending an e-mail to info@rkmfireworks.com, or call 269-663-6110.

One of the requirements to become a PGI Certified Display Operator is to participate in the live-fire portion of the PGI Display Operator Course. Students should be prepared by bringing to class their own Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Per NFPA 1123 - 2010, this includes: Head protection, eye protection, hearing protection, foot protection (closed-toe shoes) and cotton, wool, or similarly flame-resistant, long-sleeved, long-legged clothing.

 

We will be bringing a limited amount of PPE for $25. If you would like it included with the course, just let us know and we will add it on. (hard hat, gloves, ear plugs, safety glasses)

For our Spring class, we also host our Spring Demo the same day typically starting around 8:00pm to 9:00pm EST.
