ISSEE announces that their popular, entry-level courses are available through online learning.

Students wishing to join the Explosives Foundation Course (EFC) or Explosives Storage Management Course (ESM) will soon be able to enroll online and complete all learning modules at their own pace through the secure learning management platform and still achieve an accredited qualification through SQA.

Explosives Foundation Course

Listening to customer feedback, they are pleased that the Explosives Foundation Course is meeting the requirements of customers who are both new to the explosives industry as well as those seeking to maintain their knowledge from a management point of view. To enhance this, ISSEE can now offer the EFC in several formats:

Full-time learning at our modern training center, The Copse, in Oxfordshire. 

  • Part-time learning at student’s own pace through the online course plus 2 days of practical training at The Copse. This practical element is a compulsory module for students wishing to qualify for the SQA Award and must be completed within 6 months of completing the online training modules.
  • Theory-only training, through the online learning platform, will lead to an ISSEE Explosive Foundation Knowledge Certificate.
  • Practical only training. This is a 2-day module held at The Copse, for students who have previously qualified in any ISSEE explosives training course or hold a valid IMAS qualification and who wish to update their skills and safety knowledge when handling live explosives.

ESM courses can be completed entirely online as well as by attending the training center. The course comprises various modules which are studied and assessed at the student's own pace. 

ISSEE instructor support is available to support enhanced learning if required. Successful completion of the online course is rewarded with the same SQA qualifications as for the full attendance training package.
