What is a Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT)?

What is a Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT)?

Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) is an intensive practical course with  hands-on activities that allow participants to explore their behavior and learn, apply and experience life saving behaviours through realistic simulations in a high-risk environment.

The aim is to improve personal security and self-awareness for NGO workers. Our well-tested learning process builds on 3 phase methodology of (1) learning theory, (2) putting classroom learning into a practice, and (3) testing your newly gained skills in realistic simulations.

Who should attend the training?

The training is designed for Aid Workers who are deployed to high-risk / hostile environment countries.
