You are required to pass an OSHA Physical prior to working as a UXO Tech 1. We do not require you to get the physical done before attending the course, however it is highly recommended.
For the OSHA Physical, in addition to some extensive medical forms that must be completed, the following 9 tests are also required:
Vital Signs, Vision: Near and Far, Audiogram, a baseline Pulmonary Function Test (PFT), Electrocardiogram (EKG), Chest X-Ray (1View), Blood Chemistry Panel, CBC with Differential, U/A Dip.
We recommend that the student pass the physical prior to attending the school to confirm the student is eligible to perform the needed duties of a UXO Tech 1, as well as provide them with the needed paperwork to be employed immediately after graduation. If you choose to get the physical prior to attending the course please make sure to keep a copy for your own records.
However, due to the fact that some (not all) employers will pay for the physical once you are hired, getting the physical prior to the course is optional.
If you choose not to get the physical you will be required to sign a Waiver of Liability confirming that you understand the risks and disadvantages of not getting the physical done prior to the course. If you get the physical after attending the class and do not pass, you will still be responsible for any additional monies owed (if any) to UXO Global.
Please note that you are not eligible to be a UXO Tech 1 if you are color blind.
No you cannot due to the fact that color coding is one of the ordnance identification methods used in the field.
Yes, you are required to submit results from a 9-panel drug screen that has been taken within 30 days of the start of the class. If your doctor requires a written request to complete the drug test, please contact UXO Global and we will send the request to your doctor.
The drug screen must test for the 9 following panels: Cocaine Metabolites, Amphetamines (class), Barbiturates, Benzodiazepines, Marijuana Metabolite/Cannabinoids, Opiates, Phencyclidine (PCP), Propoxyphene/Metabolite and Methadone.
Yes, results from a federal criminal history background check are required. These results must come from the national level, rather than the state or local level.
UXO Global will perform these background checks for students for a fee of $25.00. The authorization form to give UXO Global permission to run it is included in the registration packet.
Your background check should be run in the country in which you reside.
Students must be at least 18 years of age to attend UXO Tech I. There are no other age restrictions.
You must have a high school diploma or GED. Students should be proficient and able to speak, read, and write the English language.
All students are provided UXO Global t-shirts.
Students who cancel by notifying the school in writing within three (3) business days of sending in their deposit are entitled to a full refund of all tuition paid.
Students, who withdraw after three (3) business days of sending in their deposit, but before commencement of classes, are entitled to a full refund of the deposit fees paid minus the maximum cancellation charge of $150.00 or 25% of the contract price, whichever is less.
Students who withdraw within 30 days before the commencement of the class are entitled to a full refund of all tuition paid except the maximum cancellation charge of $300 or 30% of the contract price, whichever is less.
In the case of students who withdraw after commencement of classes, the school will retain a cancellation charge plus a percentage of tuition and fees, based on the percentage of contact hours attended. A table detailing these percentages can be found in Application for Enrollment form in the application packet.
We do not qualify for FAFSA as we are a private occupational school that awards a certification, as opposed to a college degree conferring program.
We do however have an in-house payment program that we offer to eligible students.
Additionally, students have had success in attaining private loans or getting funding through their local WIA (Workforce Investment Act) funds through the Department of Labor.
Eligibility for the payment program is based on whether or not payment programs slots are still available for the specific class you’re interested in (limited spots available) and whether or not your credit history meets our criteria. We are looking for a responsible history of payments being made on time. We do offer the option of a co-signer if needed.
To apply, please fill out the attached credit check authorization form and return it, along with a form of payment for the associated $10 fee. You may use one of the payment authorization forms that are included in the online application packet (you may use a credit/debit card or checking account) to provide payment information. Spots are given out on a first come first serve basis, so the sooner you’re able to apply and are accepted the better.
