Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT)

With the war in Ukraine and the rise of the far right in Europe and North America, the polarisation of populations and governments alike is increasingly making travel and work a broad a risky proposition; even in countries formally considered a ‘safe’ option. A British passport which was once (in Alan Wicker’s world) a guarantee of fair treatment overseas now says something different about the bearer.

Increasingly individuals and organisations are calling on the services of Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) to prepare their teams for what might confront them.

A serious topic delivered with humour.

It’s normally with reluctance that companies employ the services of a HEAT provider, after all it’s not a trivial subject. But HEAT training is neither expensive nor frightening, it can be a lot of fun.

The team will take you through a series of scenarios such as a Vehicle check point, being mugged at an ATM, the truth about weapons and some neat ways to make yourself safer overseas as well as at home.

Full of real life funny vignettes to illustrate key points it’s a mixture of stand up comedy and serious training.
