Intermediate Explosive Breaching Course

Duration: 5 days
Cost: $1600.00
Students: 10 Min – 15 Max
Restrictions: Law Enforcement, Military, or Government Agencies
Pre-requisite: Must have attended a TEES Basic Explosive Breaching Course

The aim of this 5-day course is to upskill the breacher in order to better prepare him/her to confidently conduct a target analysis and execute an energetic breach against any medium commonly found on residential and commercial structures. This course will act as a major buffer between our basic and advanced courses and suitably prepare the breacher for our off-site Advanced Breaching course.

Confidence as a breacher comes with repetition against a variety of realistic targets. It is fair to say that our facility has been built to accommodate the objectives and tempo that this course will demand.

Course content includes:

• Review of explosive breaching
