As the original pioneers of Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT), we’ve spent over 30 years evolving our curriculum, delivery, and methodology to meet the changing demands of global operations.
Today, we deliver a comprehensive portfolio of dynamic, industry-specific training solutions across multiple sectors worldwide.
Our instructors are seasoned security professionals with extensive field backgrounds across high-risk and complex environments.
Many bring recent operational experience, and all hold formal teaching status ensuring that training is grounded in real-world context, delivered to a high professional standard, and continually adapted to meet evolving threats and client needs.
Regularly scheduled courses are held at our owned and operated purpose-built, fully integrated training facility and are also available in the US, Canada, Australia, Singapore and Thailand.
In-house courses can be delivered for our clients at their own, or third-party facilities globally.
