HAZWOPER is required to work on any Department of Defense installation and a UXO Tech 1

Front Range Training and Consulting, LLC, (FRTC) is a veteran owned Colorado-based company that has been in business since October 2003. Since its first course was conducted in 2004, FRTC has shown tremendous growth coupled with numerous repeat customers. This growth and market capture is a direct result of FRTC’s view that training must be built on three basic concepts: it must be meaningful, it must be effective, and it must be sustainable.

-Meaningful – The training provided must be built upon principles that are relevant to the students. Additionally, the training must be supported by “Best Practices”, current regulations and acceptable operating standards. Furthermore, the training provided must be usable immediately at the completion of the training.

-Effective – The program must embrace the adult learning principles first developed by Malcolm Knowles: Adult learners comprehend differently than younger students and therefore the training conducted must be executed at a pace at which the participants can assimilate the information and skills, and the accompanying courseware must be able to support this pace. Practical exercises must be designed so that they reinforce training and occur in a logical, thought-provoking, and effective order. There can be no, “what do we do now?” discussions among the Instructor Staff in the classroom or in the practical application environment. All training is pre-planned and executed toward the attainment of the terminal performance objective.

-Sustainable – Too many times students attend courses where they receive worthwhile instruction; however, the student guide or handout is lacking and consists of nothing more than a condensed version of a Power Point presentation next to a few lines on which to take notes. This concept does not allow the students to utilize the handout as a reference in the future. All classroom and practical application instruction will be fully supported by a comprehensive and detailed Student and Instructor Guide that can be used as a reference both during and after the training.

FRTC has quickly and effectively demonstrated that we are a leader in the training industry. We have trained thousands of professionals across the country and have been continuous providers of training to the Department of Defense with our tactical training arm. Throughout all of our training we employ the Systems Approach to Training (S.A.T.).

S.A.T. is a logical process for effectively and efficiently determining, what, where, when, and how tasks should be taught. It consists of the five interrelated phases of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation

Training and education are important but different tools to be used in the development of an effective individual. Each complements the other and they are tightly interwoven at every level of professional development. The early stages of an individual’s career are weighted more heavily toward training, with education dominating the later stages.

(1) Training. Training is the conduct of instruction, discipline, or drill; the building in of information and procedures; and the progressive repetition of tasks-the product of which is skill development and proficiency.

(2) Education. Education is the process of moral and mental development; the drawing out of students to initiate the learning process and bring their own interpretations and energies to bear-the product of which is a creative mind.

This UXO Tech 1 course was developed following the guidelines outlined in Department of Defense Explosive Safety Board Technical Paper 18 “Minimum Qualifications for Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) Technicians and Personnel,” 20 December 2004.
