Hostile Environment Training
We have run these courses since 2003 when we started training the UK print media prior to the Second Gulf War. The majority of our courses are for media teams and journalists but also for NGOs working in some very challenging environments. Courses are designed to teach the individual how to think on their feet and typical subjects will include situational awareness, personal safety, mines & IED, negotiating checkpoints, ballistics and weapons and kidnap prevention. On all courses, whether two days or up to five days, there will be a strong medical content. For the last 10 years we have been working with the Eurovision Academy (part of the European Broadcast Union) and run regular 5 day courses in Bavaria for many of Europe’s leading media networks and journalists.

Business Traveller
Corporations and businesses will understand the need to safeguard their personnel abroad. We can assist companies to develop a workable overseas travel policy and procedures and then assist with the training of their staff. Whilst any travel procedures will be set out in a company’s or an organization’s commitment to safe travel, our courses will train the individual how to think safe so to be able to react to events on the ground, especially if they are confronted by a hazardous situation such as a mugging. The aim is to maximize the potential of the traveller so that he or she can fulfill their potential.

Travelling Abroad
No matter where you’re travelling, safety and security will be important and our courses are accessible to all types of individuals working or exploring a variety of environments. Our courses are always tailored to a client’s needs and we can cover all of the relevant areas of security to minimise risks, including accommodation security, kidnap prevention, situation awareness, criminal activity and handling of corrupt officials, as well as many other important topics.

Security Advice
We are able to assist clients with a range of advice, requirements will vary depending on the destination and the level of knowledge and experience of the person travelling. The needs of a young 18-year-old Gap Year traveller going to South East Asia for the first time will be very different to a mining engineer with a wealth of experience working overseas. We have good links with many leading UK security proviers such as Northcott Holdings, Salamanca, Response 24 and RPS Parternship as well as medical experts such as the Fleet Street Clinic and Iqarus. We are also partners in the FCO’s Travel Aware initiative.

"16 years ago (in 2003), I did a gap year safety course, with Nick (?) if I remember correctly. What I learnt has subsequently kept me safe across six continents and many countries. I’ve just got back from travelling in the Middle East, incident free. I still use the ‘READE’ method, still don’t eat unpeeled / unboiled fruit/veg and always check my luggage before crossing borders etc. So I’d just like to say thanks for operating a business teaching lifelong skills that years and years later really do make travel safer, more fun and less problematic! That day at the cafe in London (Troubadour) taught me so much, If I hadn’t attended, I imagine I’d have not had the smooth travels I’ve had!"
