Our 4 day Working in Hostile Environments Course has been designed by operational personnel with both the experience and editorial understanding of journalism. Our interactive course is delivered by instructors who have recent on the ground experience gained from a variety of challenging assignments and is continuously assessed and kept up to date with the current issues that you may face whilst on assignment. We will not standardise our courses, but what we will do, is provide the best training and support you will see within the industry.
The course is divided equally between medical and security lessons; it is delivered through interactive training mixing a combination of lectures, discussions, role-plays and outdoor exercises.
We will take you through the prior planning stages of an assignment with pointers including self-sufficiency, cultural awareness, riots and protests, detainment, IT/Communications Security to weapon awareness to name a few. To finalise your training, students are tested through various scenarios, all of which are based on real life situations on our 5000 acre training facility in the Herefordshire countryside.
Our medical training will take you beyond first aid at work and give you the understanding, knowledge and confidence to be able to deal with multiple casualties in a remote environment, up to trauma standard.
As an additional option to the course, we offer a one day Introductory 4×4 driving course on the Friday after the main body of the course has finished for any students who wish to participate (please note, minimum of three students required and additional charges are applicable).
