Hostile Environment Awareness Training

What is our training all about?

Trips to regions with elevated and high risks pose challenges to organisations and their staff. This goes not just for business travellers, but also for technical staff and personnel working in the sector of international cooperation, and in similar organisations.

To prepare for potential dangers and learn to improve behaviour and reaction in critical situations, a ‘Hostile Environment Awareness Training‘ (HEAT) is an essential cornerstone.

The organisers are basing the training concept on their own working experiences in war and crisis regions, as well as on the latest academic research.

Proven methodology

Experienced instructors with international expertise in risk and security management present a range of subject modules, assisted by additional staff and actors, enabling participants to have their individual training needs covered. 

Tailored simulations and complex scenarios relevant to working abroad will be didactically presented and analytically debriefed.

To teach you our course, we use a variety of methods:

• Practical Exercises
• Complex Scenarios
• Moderated Group Work
• Theoretical Reflection

Participants will also receive a training certificate upon completion.
