We are hosting the indoor lecture portion of the class at the Pleasant Hope Middle School in Pleasant Hope Missouri, which is approximately ten minutes from AM Pyrotechnics, LLC.
The address for the Pleasant Hope Middle School is:
515 W McCurry Street
Pleasant Hope, MO 65725
Sign in is from 8:30 am to 9:00 am and the class will start at approximately 9:00 am.
There is so no need to arrive early! There are breakfast and lunch options within a two-minute drive. Upon returning from lunch which will be approximately 12:00-12:45, we will wrap up all lectures and then everyone will take the test. Please bring a pen or pencil with you for the testing portion of the class.
Once testing has been completed, we will all drive (ten minutes) to AM Pyrotechnics, located at:

We will do the outdoor portion of the class for hands on firework applications, such as, but not limited to, a series of malfunctions common to a firework display. The class will set up a display to be fired Saturday night. This display will indeed provide a sign off for one of the three required displays in order to finalize certification as one of the steps necessary for State certification. Please wear 100% cotton or natural fiber clothing, no nylon or polyesters. We look forward to presenting this course! For questions, please email aaron@ampyro.com
