Hostile Environment Awareness Training
Comments from Participants
“Eye-opening training. Nothing like HEAT courses that I went through before. It is just REALISTIC. Real guns, real explosions, real experts. Excellent facility. ” Juan (44), war correspondent
“They know what they teach. No empty talks. You train at ESA what you will (sooner or later) face in the field.” Peter (59), CSDP mission veteran.
“It was so practical and so realistic! I still remember mortar shelling! INCOMING!!! I enjoyed every moment of the training. It was a mind setting course, it makes you think ahead and get prepared to danger.” Margaux (31), aid worker in Africa

Course info
The objective of this narrowly tailored training is to prepare civilians (e.g. IGO & NGO staff, journalists, private companies’ personnel) who operate in a hostile environment for a variety of challenges that they may be exposed to. The training employs realistic scenarios based on real field experience, designed by missions’ veteran and security experts. It combines military type exercises with detailed explanation and instructions. The curriculum requires that participants engage in an active role-playing. It follows the best practice taken from military S.E.R.E. courses augmented with response to recently reported threats, including hostile intelligence, psychomanipulation, Active Shooter, and IDF situations.
