IMAS Certification Overview
IMAS EOD Level 3+ Technician
Certified at the EOD & Demining School in Kosovo, the IMAS EOD Level 3+ qualification represents one of the highest internationally recognised benchmarks for independent EOD operators. The certification confirms advanced competence in the identification, disposal, and render-safe procedures of a wide spectrum of munitions, including air-dropped weapons, guided weapons, sub-munitions, demolitions, storage, transport of explosives, and bulk disposal operations.
This qualification demonstrates professional capability to manage complex EOD tasks, lead operational teams, and execute advanced disposal techniques in accordance with International Mine Action Standards (IMAS).
IMAS 09.60 Level 3+ Maritime Technician
The IMAS 09.60 Level 3+ Maritime Technician certification verifies specialist competence in maritime UXO operations, including underwater explosive ordnance recognition, render-safe procedures (RSP), safe access, transportation of explosives, disposal planning, remediation, and post-task operational documentation.
Assessed at the MAT Kosovo EOD & Demining School, this qualification ensures the capability to operate safely and effectively within marine environments, bridging the gap between traditional EOD skills and the unique demands of subsea and coastal clearance operations.
IMAS Low Order Techniques (LOT) Training
Completed at MAT Kosovo, this specialised Low Order Techniques training covers a wide range of controlled deflagration and low-order disruption methods used to minimise environmental impact during offshore disposal.
The course includes live-fire practicals and advanced techniques such as thermite charges, linear cutting charges, rocket wrench, de-armer tools, shock tube systems, and underwater deflagration methods. These competencies support safer, reduced-impact disposal of sensitive munitions, with emphasis on lowering NEQ effects, underwater noise peaks, and bubble-jet influence, critical for modern offshore UXO mitigation.
