Pursuant to §27-97 of the Code of Virginia, the Statewide Fire Prevention Code (SFPC) prohibits any person from designing, setting up, conduction, or supervising the design, setup or conducting of any fireworks display, either inside a building or structure or outdoors, unless that person is certified by the State Fire Marshal's Office (SFMO) as a Pyrotechnician. At least one certified Pyrotechnician is required to be on the site where the fireworks display is being setup and conducted.
The SFMO is working in concert with the Community College Workforce Alliance (CCWA) to conduct its certification examinations. Your exam will be given by computer. You may schedule your examination by calling CCWA (804) 523.2292 or emailing trainer@ccwa.vccs.edu. If you are an out-of-state candidate, or your drive time exceeds two (2) hours to a CCWA location, prior special arrangements may be arranged to test at a college in close proximity to your home. This is based on each respective college's availability.
Please call CCWA at (804) 523.2292 or trainer@ccwa.vccs.edu to pay for and schedule an appointment to take your exam.
Once you successfully pass your exam and receive your exam score and certificate visit the Virginia Department of Fire Programs for more information on obtaining an application for Pyrotechnician certification.
