Prepare yourself for safe travel and work in high-risk areas with our Basic HEAT Course

After a demanding journey, you have finally arrived at your hotel. Stepping out of the taxi, you are suddenly faced with a robber and a weapon. Your initial reaction might be to fight, flee, or freeze. However, we encourage you to respond thoughtfully by drawing on your self-awareness and experience.

How can you prepare for dangerous situations when you can only know how you will react once they occur?
