Who should attend

The Counter-Improvised Explosive Device Capability course is designed to provide military and civilian MOD staff and approved industry personnel with contextual knowledge on the development and use of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and the tactics, techniques and procedures used to counter the threat they present.

The course is an introduction to the capability and is taken on a ‘standalone’ basis. As such, it is essential for those employed in a C-IED role or involved in the development and contracting for individual C-IED solutions, particularly project managers and their teams. The course is also relevant for other MOD staff such as Front Line Commands with responsibility for procurement support and sustainability as well as delivery of C-IED capability.

Students must have successfully completed the Introduction to Explosives Engineering course or have relevant experience in order to take this as a Short Course for Credit.
There are no prerequisites if taken as a Standalone Short Course.
