Hostile Environment and Awareness Training (HEAT) – Amman, Jordan

RedR Australia’s Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) course is scenario-based training designed to prepare humanitarian workers for deployment in high-risk, insecure, and complex environments. This four-day course blends practical skills with real-world simulations to build confidence, resilience, and operational readiness.

Key learning areas include:
>Personal safety and situational awareness
>Navigation, communication, and movement under threat
>Hostage survival, detention, and negotiation strategies
>Remote and hostile environment first aid
>Psychological resilience and stress management
>Gender, cultural, and ethical considerations in security

Through immersive simulations—such as mock checkpoints, abductions, and field medical emergencies—participants gain hands-on experience in managing real-world crises with composure and competence.

A standout feature of the course is the certification in emergency medical response, equivalent to Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC). This internationally recognized qualification equips participants with life-saving trauma care skills, including bleeding control, airway management, and casualty evacuation under fire or duress.

Whether you’re a seasoned humanitarian or preparing for your first field mission, RedR’s HEAT course is a vital investment in your safety, effectiveness, and duty of care.
