A valid certificate of training issued by an organization recognized by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and/or the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to provide professional certification for explosives professionals is valid for six (6) years, beginning May 1, 2012. Certifications issued prior to May 1, 2012 are not valid for six (6) years. As an alternative to obtaining a DoD or NIST certified certificate of training, the department is providing two (2) years of college graduation, preferably from an accredited college, with a major emphasis in explosives and a major in environmental and chemical engineering. These requirements are generally applicable to graduates of the U.S. Air Force Academy, The U.S. Missile Defense Agency, and the U.S. Naval Academy.
