Hostile Environment Awareness Training

A 3-day bespoke experience

Learn to keep safe in volatile environments

Are you an individual who spends time working in areas of conflict or regions where the rule of law isn't as strong as it is in a civilised society?

Perhaps you're a company which sends your staff to work in such environments.

Aid workers, journalists, volunteers, logistics personnel; are you fully prepared for what awaits you in these regions of the world?

Our 3-day Hostile Environment Awareness Training programme provides you with the skills that you need to survive such these conditions.

The Atlas Hostile Environment Awareness Course more than equipped me with the relevant skills and abilities to operate in volatile environments, which is where I find myself working most often.
