The HEAT Course has been designed to prepare individuals and organisations for the realities of operating within hostile, unpredictable and rapidly evolving environments where support may be delayed, infrastructure limited and threats capable of escalating quickly.

This advanced hostile environment programme combines protective security awareness, operational resilience, emergency medical care, travel risk management and survival decision making into a highly practical and immersive learning experience.  Delegates are exposed to realistic scenarios designed to replicate the pressures, uncertainty and challenges often encountered during international deployments, humanitarian operations, media assignments, disaster response and high risk travel.

The programme develops practical understanding surrounding situational awareness, movement planning, behavioural threat recognition, kidnap awareness, indirect fire response, IED awareness, hostile actor incidents, emergency communication and prolonged casualty care.  Learners also develop confidence in making informed decisions under stress while maintaining personal safety and supporting others during crisis situations.

HEAT training focuses heavily on practical application, human factors and survivability rather than classroom theory alone.  The course is designed to help organisations meet wider duty of care responsibilities while ensuring personnel are better prepared both mentally and operationally for hostile or fragile environments.

Delivered in partnership with Comera Risk, the HEAT programme represents premier hostile environment preparation for organisations operating internationally or within elevated threat environments.
