The Importance of Training

! In today’s world where knowledge is power, or in the case of certain

professions a matter of life or death, it should come as no surprise that the most valuable asset for any organisation is the knowledge held by its personnel.

! Training and development is aimed at bettering the performance of

individuals and groups in an organisation and is widely recognised to be an important and valuable investment.

! Training in the correct use and application of EOD equipment is critical yet it

is often undervalued when purchasing decisions are made It is by the nature of what we do that EOD equipment is vital to the success of a mission
