SAFE Course
A professional three day hostile environment and travel safety course designed for personnel operating overseas, travelling to unfamiliar regions or working in fragile, complex or higher risk environments. Delivered in partnership with Comera Risk and accredited by Highfield, the SAFHEE® SAFE Course develops practical situational awareness, personal security, travel risk management and emergency response skills through realistic scenario based training led by experienced operational professionals.
Course Overview
The SAFHEE® SAFE Course is a comprehensive hostile environment awareness and travel safety programme designed to prepare personnel to operate safely, confidently and effectively in fragile, unpredictable or elevated risk environments.
Built around real world operational experience and modern travel threats, the course develops practical skills in situational awareness, dynamic risk assessment, threat recognition, behavioural awareness, journey planning, emergency communication and personal safety. Learners are taught how to identify emerging threats early, adapt to changing situations and make informed decisions under pressure while maintaining personal and team safety.
The programme combines protective security awareness, hostile environment preparation and practical first aid awareness with realistic scenario based learning to ensure delegates leave with confidence, resilience and practical capability rather than theory alone. Optional specialist modules can also support lone workers, media teams, NGOs, corporate deployments, supported security operations and personnel travelling into volatile regions.
This course is delivered in partnership with Comera Risk and accredited by Highfield.
