It’s time to re-think Hostile Environment Awareness Training

Traditionally, Hostile Environment Awareness Training was mostly provided to international journalists, oil and gas contractors, government employees or INGO/Humanitarian aid workers.
In today’s unstable climate, it has become increasingly important that employers provide similar training to all staff travelling into high-risk locations.

The Prosectra HEAT Online Course is designed for participants from a wide range of backgrounds and occupations.

Participants will be trained to recognize and mitigate potential threats and respond appropriately to safety and security incidents.

Security professionals agree that pre-trip training helps staff members live and work safely in most locations around the globe.

Fully Accredited to International Standards

Highfield International, the international branch of Highfield Qualifications, a top 5 UK awarding organisation, accredits Prosectra training courses using the Ofqual’s Regulated Qualification Framework (RQF) as a reference. Learners successfully achieving a Highfield accredited qualification will be awarded with a Highfield certificate of achievement (Level 2 Hostile Environment Awareness Training Online), to confirm their new skills and knowledge.

Increasing Your Staff Safety & Security

For too long, traditional HEAT courses have been out-of-step with the humanitarian and development sector and not reflective of our values. We believe that our course provides organizations with a tremendous opportunity to take steps toward equitable security while continuing to fulfil their duty of care.
