UXO Global Tech 1 Training FAQs

The UXO Tech 1 course is 4 weeks, with class 5-6 days per week.

The HAZWOPER course is 1 week, and runs concurrently with the Tech 1 course.

Classes are generally Monday thru Saturday, 8:00am to 5:00pm (times may vary slightly).

Our average class size is around 15 students.

The course is for civilians. Military and retired military can take it; however, it is not limited to them.

There is currently no certification or approval provided by the Department of Defense or US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).  If a school is telling you they are certified or approved, you are being misled.  Our course meets and exceeds the requirements set by the Department of Defense Explosive Safety Board TP-18 (DDESB TP-18) and the USACE.  Working the USACE, we facilitate our graduating students with obtaining their USACE “Corps number” upon graduation, which allows them to work on all DoD sites.

No, the HAZWOPER course is a separate course and the fee for it is $550.

No. Room, board, and transportation are the student’s responsibility. Information about local housing is available at the end of the Application Packet

We will help point you in the right direction, but we do not ensure placement into jobs after you complete the course. We offer an industry day on graduation day to help students get in touch with prospective employers. We cannot put a percentage on employment rates because we do not require students to report back to us on their employment status.

Currently we are at 99% pass rate.
