IMAS IEDD Level 3 Course

Although IEDs are among the world’s oldest types of weapons, the increased use of IEDs as a weapon of choice by non-state armed groups has been a clear trend in recent years. Consequently, the mine action sector is increasingly being called upon to address the humanitarian impact of the widespread use of IEDs in recent conflicts.

The IMAS IEDD Level 3 (IEDD Operator) Course meets the criteria laid down in the recent IMAS 09.31 (IEDD) standard and has been designed for those who are IMAS EOD Level 3 as a minimum or equivalent, and have already completed the IMAS IEDD L1 (IEDD Searcher) and IEDD L2 (IEDD Assistant) courses, or who hold equivalent military or law enforcement Improvised Explosive Device Disposal (IEDD) qualifications. Building on the skills of a Level 1 and 2 (IEDD) qualification, the four-week course qualifies successful candidates to conduct render-safe procedures and final disposal of IEDs in a permissive environment and gives those wanting to step up to a higher level the ability to enhance both their skill set and their employability on both national-security and humanitarian IEDD contracts.
