Hostile Environment Awareness Training (H.E.A.T.) GardaWorld’s Hostile Environment Awareness Training (H.E.A.T.) is a threat-focused, principle-based online course that combines theory with highly realistic, scenario-based practical training modules designed for employee and traveler safety.
Background of the Course
Hostile environment awareness plays an important role in the effectiveness and impact of crisis management missions; it is also a chief responsibility that each seconding or contracting actor has vis-à-vis its deployed personnel (“duty of care”), so as to further address the issue of their protection while operating in high risk operational theaters.
Hostile environment awareness is essential to coping with internal and external security threats on the ground and is conducive to: a) enhancing the resilience of personnel when working in hazardous environments; b) increasing the understanding of proactive security and of basic field measures; c) providing personnel with the basic tools and techniques needed to avoid potentially dangerous situations or to cope adequately with actual endangering ones in the field.
This course has been designed and developed jointly by the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna and the Carabinieri Corps General Headquarters, precisely with the aim to address such needs.
The course is organized under the patronage of Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
ENTRI Certification
This is the first HEAT course to have obtained the “C3MC” label” which proves that the Course is coherent with the minimum standards requested by ENTRI/EU. Through the certification process, ENTRi aims at ensuring harmonisation of training standards among training providers working on civilian crisis management training.
Training Objectives & Modules
HEAT is an intensive 40-hour course that aims at training professionals to deal effectively with risk-associated and emergency/critical situations while deployed in hostile environments abroad.

The course has two primary objectives:
1. To improve participants’ knowledge of multiple threats present in hostile field environments and of ways and means of dealing with them in an effective manner;
2. To rehearse and practice safety and security procedures according to specific threats.
The Course content is clustered in five modules:
Module I - EU personnel deployed in hostile environments
Module II - Situational training exercise (STX)

Africa is a continent in conflict. Although there are great business opportunities, many African countries are experiencing a reported number of incidents of sectarian violence, political unrest, social instability, armed conflict, corrupt law enforcement, terrorism and xenophobia. Even though an armed conflict may not yet have occurred or hostilities have ceased, there are still likely to be periods of unrest caused by local elements making use of an unstable situation. In many African countries, the risks to the personal security and safety of corporate travellers include organized crime, theft, assault and hostage taking.
It is well-know that executives within some companies deploy close protection teams to shadow them when traveling to potentially hostile areas in Africa. This strategy, unfortunately, is rarely passed on to other key personnel conducting business on behalf of their companies. It is therefore imperative and much more cost effect to give your staff specific survival training to empower them with self-reliant skills.
SSC Training provides Hostile Environment Awareness Training (H.E.A.T.) courses to prepare your staff with the self-reliance and survival knowledge necessary to address risks and challenges inherent in operating in unfamiliar and hostile environments with confidence.
Our H.E.A.T. courses are structured programmes designed for staff that are visiting, living or working in areas of high insecurity or limited infrastructure. Experience has shown that such training reduces the chances of a staff member (or their dependents) from becoming involved in a security incident. The training also mitigates the serious consequences and effects of such an incident and thereby demonstrates your duty of care responsibility.
