IED Electronics Classes Built for Bomb Technicians
Improvised Electronics offers hands-on IED electronics classes designed specifically for bomb technicians, EOD teams, and law enforcement professionals who need real-world circuit knowledge — not just theory from a slide deck. Every class is built around actual circuits, real schematics, and practical exercises that prepare you to identify, diagnose, and defeat improvised explosive devices in the field.
Unlike other providers, our IED electronics training goes beyond copying breadboard layouts from PowerPoint. Students learn to read schematics, calculate component values, and build circuits from the ground up — the same way electronics technicians are trained at ET School. Each class culminates with students building functional training devices from PCBs, giving them skills they can immediately apply on the job.
What You’ll Learn in Our IED Electronics Classes
- Circuit Tracing and Analysis — Trace circuits from power source to initiator, identifying components and understanding signal flow in both commercial and improvised devices.
- Component Identification — Recognize resistors, capacitors, transistors, relays, timers, and microcontrollers commonly found in IED circuitry.
- Multimeter and Test Equipment Diagnostics — Use multimeters, oscilloscopes, and other diagnostic tools to safely evaluate unknown circuits and measure voltage, current, and resistance.
- Schematic Reading and Interpretation — Read and interpret electronic schematics to understand device function before physical interaction.
- IED Defeat Techniques — Apply electronics fundamentals to develop safe and effective approaches to IED neutralization and render-safe procedures.
IED Electronics Class Formats
We offer multiple class formats to fit your team’s schedule and operational requirements:
- Mobile Training Team (MTT) — We bring the IED electronics class to your location. Our MTT courses are the most popular option, allowing your entire team to train without travel costs or scheduling conflicts.
- Online / Virtual Classes — Live, instructor-led IED electronics classes conducted remotely. Students receive component kits shipped to their location and build circuits in real time with the instructor.
- In-Person Events — Attend scheduled classes at our training locations, including the EOD Maker Faire and specialized workshops.
Who Should Attend
Our IED electronics classes are designed for military EOD technicians, civilian bomb squad members, ATF Certified Explosives Specialists, HDS graduates, law enforcement bomb technicians, and force protection professionals. Whether you are building a baseline of electronics knowledge or advancing existing skills, each class is tailored to your team’s experience level through pre-course assessments.

Student Reviews:
“Improvised Electronics provided an outstanding product for every experience level in attendance, from our most junior tech to experienced team leaders. His unique instruction style allowed the class to truly understand the fundamentals behind circuit theory, proper build technique, and practical application. Rather than simply mimicking schematics on breadboards like some other courses, Jeff ensured each student comprehended the concept and purpose behind each circuit, both in commercial and IED use. Additionally, he had a tremendous balance of classroom learning and practical exercises, allowing everyone to put the lessons of the day into practice right away. I would recommend Improvised Electronics to any EOD shop looking to establish a baseline of electronics knowledge for their troops, or to build upon previous knowledge of more experienced technicians.”
Q&A:
Our electronics courses are focused on getting you ready to make your own training devices. We don’t copy breadboards from Powerpoint. We breadboard from schematics and then hand you that circuit on a PCB to build a device from. I teach electronics more like they do at ET School and less like JATAC.
1. Are they able to be tailored to the customer?Absolutely. We have topics broken down into modules. You can mix and match. I’m always happy to make sense of a circuit you might have come across. I have a pretty extensive library.
2. Who are the instructors and what qualifications do they have?It depends on the course. I was a Navy ET stationed at AIEDD. I teach electronics. I have a pool of EOD guys with varying backgrounds. Lots of SOF experience in the pool. I used them for some custom moving and shooting courses for the Navy guys.
3. At what level do they teach? We teach to your level. We will have a few phone calls before we arrive to assess your needs. I believe in strong fundamentals for the electronics class. Students need to be able to calculate values, read schematics and use test equipment to build and troubleshoot devices.
4. Are these courses mostly awareness, DA action (SOF) Support, CONUS Operations. Pre-Deployment awareness? We’ve done a little of each of those. We taught every ATF CES guy in the country electronics over the last 2 years. We did a SOF integration course for the Navy with T1G. The Army and Air Force have used our Comprehensive Electronics Course to satisfy their pre-deployment requirements instead of JATAC on a few occasions.
Frequently Asked Questions About IED Electronics Classes
What IED electronics classes do you offer?
We offer a range of IED electronics classes including our flagship EOD Electronics course, Basic IED Electronics, Circuit Diagnostics and Manual Entry, Professional Electronics, Arduino Bootcamp for EOD, and Microcontrollers & Sensors for Bomb Technicians. Each class can be delivered as a Mobile Training Team (MTT) course at your location, online with shipped component kits, or at scheduled in-person events. Our classes range from foundational electronics knowledge to advanced circuit diagnostics and IED defeat techniques.
How long is an IED electronics class?
Class length varies depending on the course and your team’s needs. Our core IED electronics classes typically run 3 to 5 days. Online courses like the Microcontrollers & Sensors class run 3 days. The IED Build Workshop and EOD Maker Faire are shorter, focused events. All MTT classes can be customized in length and content based on a pre-course assessment with your team leadership.
Can you bring an IED electronics class to our location?
Yes. Our Mobile Training Team (MTT) option is our most popular class format. We bring all instructors, equipment, components, and curriculum directly to your facility anywhere in the United States or internationally. MTT classes eliminate travel costs for your team and allow your entire unit to train together. Contact us to schedule an MTT IED electronics class at your location.
What prerequisites are needed for IED electronics training?
Most of our IED electronics classes have no formal prerequisites. We conduct pre-course phone calls with your team to assess experience levels and tailor the curriculum accordingly. Our classes are designed to serve everyone from junior technicians with no electronics background to experienced team leaders looking to advance their skills. Basic math skills are helpful but not required — we teach the fundamentals you need as part of the class.
How do I fund an IED electronics class for my team?
IED electronics classes from Improvised Electronics can be funded through multiple channels including unit training budgets, DHS grants, LETPA funding, UASI grants, and state homeland security grant programs. We are a registered government contractor and accept government purchase orders and credit card payments. Contact us and we can help identify funding options available to your agency or unit.
