If your people work where things are uncertain — aid workers, charity staff, journalists, researchers, project teams — SAFHEE® prepares them properly. One accredited standard, three levels, matched to where they're going. Originally developed for the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, now trusted by NGOs, charities and organisations worldwide.
For people travelling or working where stability and services can't be taken for granted. Our most popular course.
For teams working in regions recovering from, or close to, conflict.
For those deploying where the risk to life is real and support is limited.
Hostile-environment training used to be a lottery — every provider's "HEAT" or "SAFE" course meant something different, which made duty of care hard to evidence. SAFHEE® is the registered, accredited standard, so wherever your team trains, the content, quality and certificate are the same.
Content, duration and quality varied wildly between providers. For organisations with a duty of care to travelling staff, it was hard to know what a certificate actually meant.
SAFHEE® fixes the syllabus, accredits the delivery and matches the course level to the environment. The registered mark tells you a course is genuinely ours or licensed by us; the accredited syllabus and partner audits behind it are what keep every delivery the same.
Externally accredited content combining theory and hands-on practice: risk planning, situational awareness, conflict management, counter-terrorism awareness, trauma first aid and self-defence.
Developed for the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office and delivered for NGOs, charities, media, academia and corporate teams worldwide — proven where the environments are real.
Not every deployment is the same, so not every course should be. Each SAFHEE® level is graded to the environment your people are heading into — tell us where they're going and we'll match the training.
For staff travelling or working where political stability is frail and infrastructure is uncertain — building the awareness, confidence and practical skills to stay safe and keep working. Our flagship and most-delivered course.
For teams working in regions in or near conflict, where complex threats are part of daily life — covering personal safety, movement and repatriation, and the realities of trafficking and systemic crime.
For those deploying where hostility is a direct threat to life and normal support has broken down — hostile environment awareness training, delivered to the registered standard.
Not sure which level fits? Tell us where your people are going and we'll match the training — open courses, or closed delivery for your whole team.
