RELYANT and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville IMAS Level 1 Certification Course Approved for Veteran’s Training by the VA

Knoxville, TN, June 20, 2014 --(PR.com)-- RELYANT and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville are pleased to announce their cooperative International Mine Action Standards (IMAS) Level 1 Certification Course has been approved for Veteran’s Training by the Veterans’ Administration (VA). While the RELYANT/UT UXO Tech 1 Certification Course has traditionally provided the requisite training and course material to certify graduating students as IMAS Level 1 operators, RELYANT is excited to offer the IMAS Level 1 Operator Certification as a standalone course for everyone looking to improve their marketability in the UXO career field.

RELYANT and the University of Tennessee are extremely proud to offer the only UXO Tech 1 Course which dual certifies its’ graduates as UXO Tech 1’s and IMAS Level 1 Operators under the guidance and approval of the United Nations as an Internationally Accredited Mine Action Company.

With U.S. and foreign government contracts expanding overseas in the Mine Action arena, it’s essential to demonstrate international competencies with the IMAS Level 1 Certification skill set on your resume. Courses provided by the RELYANT/UT partnership offer world-class, field experienced instructors, and the reputation of a top ranked university and an experienced, internationally accredited Mine Action Company. While the University of Tennessee is ranked 15th overall as a “Best College for Veterans”, RELYANT has added to that veteran’s distinction by bringing the experience of having performed millions of square meters of minefield clearances around the world. Graduates of the RELYANT/UT UXO Tech 1 and IMAS Level 1 courses learn from former UXO and IMAS operators and instructors, and leave with the knowledge that will enable them to become successful in Minefield Clearance Action both domestically and in the international arena.

RELYANT/UT invites you to Knoxville, TN to register now for one of our upcoming classes (to be posted shortly). Classes are limited, so take advantage today and utilize your VA benefits to offset course costs as you journey towards a brighter future.
