In an ever-changing world, individuals and groups working or living in hostile environments face unique challenges that require specialised preparation. Hostile Environment Readiness Training (HERT) is a crucial programme designed to equip personnel with the necessary skills and knowledge to navigate challenging and potentially dangerous situations. This type of training falls under the ‘Duty of Care’ of not only companies and organisations in assisting in the prevention of security-related incidents to their staff and personnel.

The HERT-TM Course provides the delegate with essential pre-deployment training covering a range of fundamental subjects, as well as a foundational understanding of risk management, personal security, and basic survival skills in hostile environments as well as a range of other relevant subject areas.

The HERT-TM Course has been designed for Military Personnel, staff or volunteers from the various ‘Frontline’ International NGOs, Charity Organisations, Media Staff and Professionals, Financial  Institutions, Oil, Gas & Utilities Workers operating within austere, or high-threat environments.
