Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Training
ISSEE can support students in their career development by offering a suite of EOD training courses.
ISSEE offers students from military, police and civil agencies the opportunity to study for qualifications in Explosive Ordnance Disposal. Until the formation of ISSEE, this subject matter was only available through military training schools and even then, without academic qualification.
Our students go on to perform a variety of different roles from Humanitarian Demining through to Counter-Terrorist Bomb Disposal Officers and from Environmental Services teams through to Explosives Magazine Personnel and government scientists.
