HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT AWARENESS TRAINING 2023

Our HEAT course is a five-day training programme in which participants especially those drawn from humanitarian organizations learn how to deal effectively with critical or emergency situations while deployed in hostile environment missions. The course uses a variety of methodologies, including lectures and presentations, outdoor activities, and simulation exercises: 75% of the course is practical and 25% is theoretical.
Some of the outcomes include;
Stress management
Set of threats, associated risks, and personal security
Risk management
Mobile security: protection and security procedures when traveling in vehicles
Managing threats related to large concentrations of people, demonstrations, protests, and riots
Hostage-taking and kidnappings survival among others.
