The courses are as follows: Initial HAZMAT & RPS Combined Course HAZMAT & RPS Combined Requalification Course Initial RPS Course HMA Scenario training day There are currently 64 HAZMAT officers between the 3 Services, all of which will require a HAZMAT/RPS requalification course in the 2025/26 financial year and every year thereafter. New officers will require a HAZMAT/RPS initial course and these will be booked as and when required. There are also some delegates that have already attended a HMA initial course without the RPS qualification. These delegates will need to attend a RPS initial course. The supplier must be able to deliver RPS initial courses to these individuals. The HMA scenario training day would consist of delivery of scenario based maintenance of skills sessions delivered to existing HMAs as part of their continuous CPD in addition to their annual recertification course.
