Hostile Environment Training
Most of our courses are for media teams, journalists and NGOs working in challenging environments. Courses are designed to teach the individual how to think on their feet. Typical subjects include situational awareness, personal safety, mines & IED, negotiating checkpoints, ballistics & weapons and kidnap prevention. All courses, whether two days or up to five days, have a strong medical content.
For the last 15 years we have been working with the Eurovision Academy (part of the European Broadcast Union EBU) and run regular 5-day courses in Bavaria for many of Europe’s leading media networks and journalists.

Business Traveller
Corporations and businesses understand the need to safeguard their personnel abroad. We assist companies in developing a workable overseas travel policy & procedures and then assist with training for their staff.
Whilst travel procedures will be set out in an organisation’s commitment to safe travel, our courses train the individual how to think safe so 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 minimise the risk to the traveller so that he or she can maximise their business trip.
-
Terrorism Awareness & Response Training
As part of our corporate security consultancy service we help businesses to respond to a terrorist attack. Despite often inflated media coverage, the likelihood of an attack is remote, however the consequences can be catastrophic in terms of severe injury, loss of life as well as reputational issues.
The emerging Protect Duty Legislation (also called Martyn’s Law) requires public venues to assess their vulnerability to terrorist attacks, implement counter-terrorist action plans and train staff accordingly. Objective Travel Safety view your premises to evaluate the risk and provide comprehensive plans and training.

Security Advice
Assisting clients with a range of advice; requirements vary depending on the destination and the level of experience of the traveller. 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 providers 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 FCDO’s Travel Aware initiative.

HEST 5 Day course attendee, April 2022 - Journalist
'The training session, led by Charlie was well presented and clearly delivered, full of practical tips, and didn’t pull the punches on the ‘worst case’ scenarios, while remaining very grounded. I would highly recommend this as a refresher for seasoned travellers or as an introduction to travel safety for novices.'
Alison Tweed, Chief Executive, Book Aid International
'Really enjoyed it, very informative but never felt overloaded and most of all fun!
'Excellent, brilliant hospitality and food'
'Good pace to the lessons and the discussions over dinner were a good idea for emotional trauma chat'.

Thank you for having me at the EBU seminar "Hostile Environment Safety" last week!
The week was extraordinary! What lay not only at the scene - no question Schloss Hexenagger is a show in itself - but above all to the trainer: Inside! So honestly true, so pleasant, focused and professionally competent trainers: Inside I have seldom experienced. Hats off!
