Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) and Hostile Environment First Aid Training (HEFAT) is practical holistic training that combines theory with highly realistic simulation. It is designed to equip individuals with the skills to work in high-risk environments as safely as possible whilst practicing ‘do no harm’. This course is aimed at media organisations, production teams, NGOs, aid agencies, oil and gas corporations, consultants, security personnel and humanitarian workers travelling to remote and high-risk areas. We cover situational awareness, risk assessments, planning & preparation, kidnap and ransom, personal security, counter surveillance, firearms and IED awareness, indirect fire, drone threat and marauding firearms attack, civil unrest, gender and LGBTQ+ safety, fixers and sources, checkpoint negotiations, trauma care, vehicle safety, psychosocial care and all forms of digital security.
Our HEAT Training is Highfield Accredited and all participants receive an Individual First Aid Kit (IFAK) at the end of the training.
