The HEAT training covers a wide range of topics, as specified on the salanga.org/heat webpage. Unfortunately, we cannot provide the detailed training agenda in advance, in order to ensure the simulations and experience of each of the participants are as real as possible, and thus that no expectations are formed. However, agenda overview will be shared with registered participants.
If you have any further doubt about the agenda or a specific topic and its coverage, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@salanga.org.
We generally try to adjust each course to specific training participants; however, our ability to integrate new topic is limited. Salanga provides specific tailored-made training to several organizations. HEAT training which is open to public has general list of topics that covers essential areas required for the hostile environment.
If you require specific topic not covered, or if you’d like to focus and drill certain type of topics, please, do get in touch with us, to discuss possibilities how to ensure your needs are met.
We create our simulations as realistic as possible, while putting participants safety and security first. That means that within the years of experience with organizing HEAT, we strove to find the right balance so that participants can learn, apply and experience life-saving behaviors through different stages of real-life scenarios while maintaining safe learning environment at all times.
We welcome participants with physical or mental inabilities, as in a reality, NGO may have team members with such limitations in the field and we should know how to react be the one with the limitation or having a team member with the inability.
On the other hand, we need to know ahead of the time, in case you have certain limitations, and based on a consultation with our psychologist and training then determine the possibility of your participation based on the knowing the agenda.
Unfortunately, if you are pregnant or you have indication that you may be pregnant, we DO NOT recommend your participation in the HEAT training. During the training, we use some of the pyrotechnical devices and imitations that are generally safe; HOWEVER may interrupt or otherwise harm the pregnancy.
We take all the precautions that we can in order to ensure that the training is safe for everybody. Our team is present at all of the crucial moments of the training, and there is also a psychologist present to ensure we cover both the physical and psychological well-being of the participants. On the other hand, be it a preparation for a hostile and high-risk environment, the training will demand certain physical and mental strength and will from the participants to finish the training.

Salanga does not provide any powerpoint slides. But we will hand out different cards with key messages related to various topics. We will also offer a 3 month email refresher with a small survey and key messages to be sent to those interested, to refresh security information you will have learnt during the training.
We also offer a one month of free security consultations to all participants once the HEAT training is over, as sometimes it may take a bit of a while to absorb all of the newly gained information and new questions may arise.

We accept a maximum of 24 participants, as throughout the years we came to a conclusion that this is the maximum of participants where we can ensure that the participants take as much as they can from the training and we do not have to compromise on their individual experience .
During certain activities we also split the participants into smaller teams which allows exploring the ability to work as a team and realize how individual’s behavior affects the team’s safety and security as well how the team functions.
Some activities require splitting up the participants into teams, which allows for better experience but mainly for learning how to behave as a team, and realize how my behavior as an individual can reflect on and affect the safety and security of my team members.
We use teamwork during the training. Thus if a group of co-workers apply, they can create a team during the training, to see how they work together, realize what strengths and challenges they face as a team, and learn how to improve their work together. The training is very intensive thus gives space for getting to know each other better and for building trust within the team.
