As an Adjunct Instructor and under the supervision of the Chief Instructor, I instruct UXO Tech I and National Lab(s) students during multiple training courses throughout the year in the proper usage of various ignition systems and explosives for the purpose of mitigation (disposal) of unexploded ordnance using the techniques and emerging technologies of today’s UXO remediation industry, and usage of explosive tools in research projects. TEEX developed the first civilian UXO Technician I course in 1999 and remains the only program to have ever been certified by the Department of Defense Explosive Safety Board (DDESB). In 2012 the National Association of Ordnance Contractors (NAOC) recognized this course as meeting, and exceeding, all UXO Tech I training requirements established by DDESB Technical Paper 18, Minimum Qualifications for Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) Technicians and Personnel.
