Preparation for abroad

HEAT – Hostile Environment Awareness Training

Realistic preparation for assignments in crisis areas – aligned with UN requirements.

Do you or your staff spend time more frequently in crisis areas or destinations with increased crime for professional reasons? We prepare you individually for your stay abroad. The training serves to prepare you realistically for scenarios you might face during your assignment. The modules are aligned with the requirements and guidelines of the UN for personnel deployed abroad.

Our instructors have many years of experience from military and police special operations and the associated worldwide deployments. We have been delivering this training successfully for years – for German companies, authorities, NGOs and aid organisations.

Hotel rooms in Waldmünchen are available very affordably.
