IMAS Conversion Course (IMAS-CC) – Humanitarian Mine Action (HMA)
MAT Kosovo EOD & ERW Training Establishment have developed what we term the IMAS Conversion Course (IMAS-CC), which is conducted over a two-week period, in recognition of the need to assist those working in the HMA & Commercial Mine Action and EOD industry, and those leaving Military EOD units to either formalise or convert their prior experience or qualifications into an IMAS compliant certification. This would be IMAS EOD Level 3 at a minimum.
Who are eligible to attend?
- Those working in the Industry currently without IMAS compliant certifications may attend if they can prove that they have the relevant experience and knowledge through time served and projects employed within. Applicants must be able to demonstrate through their CV and reference to their experience and knowledge base, which will be assessed before admission.
- Those who are preparing for discharge or have recently left their country’s military with recognised EOD qualifications, who wish to have these converted to IMAS certification. Applicants must be able to provide copies of their Military certification and can demonstrate their experience.
