There are a variety of risks and threats arising from travelling and working in hostile and challenging environments, whether in a humanitarian, disaster or war zone situation. All our Security Awareness courses are designed to encompass the issues relating to personnel travelling and working in such locations, bespoke to your operational needs.

The objectives of the courses are to:

  • Improve participant’s knowledge of the multiple threats in hostile or fragile field environments and present ways and means of dealing with them in an effective manner.
  • Rehearse and practice safety and security procedures according to the specific threat.
  • Provide organisations with a management system to facilitate a duty of care.

In addition to security awareness for general worldwide travel we have courses designed to prepare you and your staff for visiting countries assessed as Hostile (HEAT) or Fragile (F-SAT).

Our Security Awareness courses are aligned to the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office standards for pre-deployment training for staff posted and travelling overseas.
