HEFAR (Hostile Environment & First Aid Responder)

HEAT Training in Jordan - Accredited Hostile Environment & First Aid Responder (HEFAR)

Train for the realities of the Middle East with Stratum Levant’s accredited HEFAR program.

Our course is the next generation of Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) and dual-certified by Highfield International.

Many organisations search for HEAT training (Hostile Environment Awareness Training) to prepare staff for deployment in high-risk, remote, or unstable environments. While standard HEAT courses focus mainly on awareness and personal security, Stratum Levant’s HEFAR program goes far beyond the basics.

Our Hostile Environment & First Aid Responder course is an accredited, next-generation version of HEAT. Developed by Stratum Levant and Black Aspect Safety specifically for the Middle East and Levant region, including Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and Yemen.

The course combines hostile environment awareness with advanced first aid responder training to create a realistic, regionally relevant and fully accredited experience.

Delivered by emergency doctors, medics, media security professionals, and former UK Special Forces, HEFAR blends operational experience, clinical capability, and real-world security expertise.

Dual Accredited Training - Two Internationally Recognised Qualifications

Unlike generic unaccredited HEAT courses, HEFAR awards two internationally recognised Highfield-accredited qualifications. This means participants not only understand how to identify and mitigate risk, they are also trained and certified to respond effectively when incidents occur, including trauma and medical emergencies in austere environments.

Participants gain the skills, confidence, and awareness needed to operate safely and effectively in challenging or unstable areas.
