Unexploded Ordnance Technician Certificate Program

The problems associated with unexploded ordnance (UXO) are a significant international challenge affecting hundreds of nations and millions of people. Millions of acres of property in the United States and around the world contain land mines and UXO.

The risks posed to property and personnel by UXO could be significant depending on the types and quantity of UXO present and how the property is or may be used. Mitigation of these risks requires trained personnel to mitigate potential explosive hazards.

The UXO industry provides an opportunity for individuals who are not satisfied with the ordinary to:

• Enter into a new, exciting, and challenging career.

• Earn exceptional pay as a UXO Technician (salary normally starts in the $20/hr. range at locations within the continental United States and can easily reach six figures in overseas locations).

• Become eligible for employment immediately upon graduation as certified UXO Technician Level I.
