Operating overseas in complex environments where medical transport and security services are less than ideal, these factors create liability and ethical issues unless you take reasonable steps to train your staff to understand the risks and mitigate them.

Our customers often question their safety and security in hostile, risk-rated regions. GardaWorld understands what it takes to safeguard your most valuable assets - your staff - and can deliver face-to-face and remotely training to cater for staff resilience and safety in complex environments.

GardaWorld uses the same travel safety and HEAT principles in our in-person and online eHEAT courses. These pragmatic principles are easy to understand and apply and are proven to work reliably in the real world where you and your staff operate. You can be confident that they reflect current best industry practices and are vital to your threat mitigation plan and Duty of Care policies and procedures.

The eHEAT course can be used as a stand-alone training course or as part of a blended face-to-face/app-based training solution. GardaWorld’s accredited e-learning app HEAT Course covers an extensive and comprehensive range of subjects that address global travel safety. We use a modern and effective micro-learning approach that lets you consume the content at your own pace, wherever you are, delivered consistently and effectively.  Our bespoke, premium e-learning app is lightweight, fast and easy to use in regions with low bandwidth or poor connectivity. It also incorporates the same advanced secure technologies adopted by Google, Microsoft, Spotify and more, and is accessible securely on any smartphone, tablet or computer using any operating system.

Courses completed on the app are fully accredited and certified by an internationally recognized awarding organization regulated by the UK Government’s Ofqual. The training material is constantly updated to match evolving threats.  As a great ‘value add’, the license fee entitles users to use the app for 12 months - an excellent way to refresh your memory before, and during, your trips abroad, even at short notice.

Each module in the course takes approximately 30 minutes to complete, with the following subjects covered are:

• Introduction to risk
• Pre-travel considerations
