The management of mass casualties induced by chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive incident (MCLS-CBRNE) and terrorist events requires special preparation to ensure safety and communication. This report introduces the first educational program targeting CBRNE incidents to be established in Japan that targets first responder. The MCLS-CBRNE contains four parts and ten modules (a lecture, a simulation drill, skills training and a test). The first MCLS-CBRNE course was held in Shizuoka Prefecture on May 22, 2016. There were 24 participants and received written and practical examinations at the end of the course. The occupation, MCLS provider or instructor, previous experience with training and age did not affect the score of the written and practical examination, and all of the participants passed the examination. The questionnaire survey showed that participants were highly satisfied with the MCLS-CBRNE program. The educational methods of the MCLS-CBRNE program were thought to be effective for all participants
