Description

Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) is crucial for individuals deployed in risk-associated, precarious or volatile environments. Therefore, it is essential to invest in specific training focused on awareness of security risks and the challenges of the specific environments to reduce the risks of loss of lives and injuries.

HEAT aims to improve participants’ comprehension of the challenging field requirements while working individually or as a team member within the context of an international organisation or institution.

The BLUESPEAR HEAT programme will equip individuals operating in risk theatres with essential tools on how to manage and reduce the risks, which in some cases may be lifesaving. Our HEAT programme is developed in line with the EU ENTRI guidelines in order to deliver a high standard training.
