Basic EOD

A Level 1 EOD qualification enables the trained person to locate, expose and destroy specific items of explosive ordnance (EO) in situ, in a controlled environment such as technical survey and/or clearance site, single items of mines and specific explosive remnants of war (ERW) on which the holder has been recorded as trained. A Level 1 trained person is therefore only able to destroy specific items of EO, details of those items will be provided during the course.

In addition to the skills attained on the IMAS Level 1 course, a Level 2 qualification enables the holder to determine when it is safe to move and transport specific items of EO when authorised by an IMAS Level 3 (or higher) trained person1. A Level 2 qualification also enables the qualified individual to conduct the simultaneous disposal of multiple items of EO using ring mains or line mains.
