Testimonials

This was a great experience and valuable information was provided by the knowledgeable instructors. So, we now know what to do in a hostile environment and even in our everyday lives

The course was excellent. However, I feel like it was information overload and maybe it could take place over three days so we can get more out of it. Still, it was a really enjoyable programme

A very practical and well-designed course. It covers a substantial amount of information and delivers practical demonstrations which enables all trainees to have the necessary knowledge and skill sets to deal with a range of scenarios in hostile environments

Very useful, excellent seminar with an abundant amount of knowledge and skills. Excellent and very professional team. Thank you for your patients and understanding with regards to my issues in real-life situations. This course makes you so excited and confident about survival in hostile environments.

The Instructors use realistic scenarios and case studies which really helped to contextualise the training. They shared simple but effective techniques which are easy to rehearse and enable me and others to prepare properly before travelling

Great insight at all levels of experience. Content is current and up-to-date and is also
relevant to helping me learn about current hostile trends, especially to corporate travellers in
Africa. A brilliant and an informative two-day programme

Brilliant programme which provided me with a lot of development areas to work on as a traveller. In fact, I am asking my Department Head that this course should be mandatory for all corporate travellers being sent to African countries for business purposes.

I found the course to be very informative and interesting. It has taught me some life skills and although some parts are scary, they are completely worth it. I am very glad I attended.
