Insurer recognition of your safe practice in fire arts

In recent years, many insurers have withdrawn from the fire arts industry. Of the few that remain, some now require proof of competence from our organization, called GardeFeu Certification. There’s how it works:

Step 1 – Choose the Private or GardeFeu path for the 101 Fire Arts Safety course

The first question to ask yourself is “Are you available to do the course during GardeFeu activities according to the calendar course schedule?”

  • If the answer is no, then you’ll have to go through a private instructor.
  • If you are available, then you can choose either to take the course with a private instructor or to take it during GardeFeu activities.

The same course is taught on both paths, with the same teaching materials and the same exam.

The Fire Arts Safety 101 Course is recognized by many insurers as an effective method of reducing fire arts risk. This course is offered to everyone, including artists with a problematic history in the fire arts, to give them the opportunity to learn safe practices. This 3-hour theoretical and 1-hour practical course is given in person. It includes a 15-question exam, with a passing grade of 80%.

Via GardeFeu

We offer the course on our regular evenings. Please consult the calendar for dates and locations of upcoming courses. Classes are posted on GardeFeu Facebook events. These events are created about a week in advance, and are where we post start times and cancellations in case of inclement weather.

 

Step 1 – Successful completion of the 101 Fire Arts Safety course

Via an authorized private instructor

Private instructors cover a vast territory, including Toronto, Montreal, Trois-Rivières and Quebec City. These instructors have more flexible schedules, better suited to industry professionals. Rates are at the instructor’s discretion, and you should contact them directly. Please note that you will need to open a GardeFeu file before your course; your instructor will be able to assist you with this.

Step 2 – Apply for certification

  • When you apply for certification, you’ll receive an e-mail asking you to send us certain documents for investigation.
  • It may take up to 30 days to receive your certificate, but we can validate your status directly with your insurer in an emergency.
  • The certificate must be renewed every 3 years.
  • A certificate can be revoked in the event of an incident of inappropriate behavior.
