COURSE CANCELED

20 Slots Open - Once slots are taken course will be closed.

TEMA has developed
the HMTO 80-hour course in which the individual student is trained to operate
in an offensive mode when responding to a hazardous materials incident. 
It is also designed to prepare team members to operate safely as a unit in
dealing with Hazardous Materials incidents. Emphasis is on teamwork and the use
and limitations of existing team equipment. Content includes personal
protection, safety procedures, basic physical and chemical properties,
container characteristics, basic tactics and guidelines for team policies, procedures,
and operations. Module quizzes are utilized to evaluate class progress. 
Field trips and hands-on competency drills are conducted to reinforce classroom
activities.  There is a final test, and the course concludes with an
evaluated written and practical (hands-on) exam, with a full-scale team
exercise.  An average score of 80 must be maintained to successfully
complete the course.  At least one of these courses is offered in each
TEMA region per year, contingent upon funding.
