More on Training

My last few posts on Bomb disposal technician psychology with queries about how training might better address certain issues has caused some further discussion and digging. For now, I was pointed in the direction of Dr Ed Bundy’s dissertation which is a fascinating study of how EOD technicians learning preferences and “intelligence strengths” differ amongst a range of bomb technicians. Essential reading for anyone involved in EOD training development. As Ed warned me when he gave me permission to post the link, it’s a good few pages long, but I think well worth the effort. I think too it has broader applications in counter-terrorist training. More thoughts to follow.
