The defensive and offensive driving skills are practiced on a skid pan and on a track that can be used to simulate both urban and rural driving conditions.

Testimonials

The course gives necessary training in skills that are rare but important for both travellers and local staff members who find themselves in dangerous situations. I really like the techniques to counter hijackings and home invasions. The pain in my knees from kneeling in a stress position during the kidnap exercise wasn’t great, as necessary as it may have been.

Very informative course which has provided me with skills that I never thought I needed. Made me realise how exposed I am on a daily basis and how easily I can fail to survive. Yet, I learnt that there are some simple techniques that I can use to save my life.

I would highly recommend this training because it is a useful course which contain safety and security knowledge, especially for corporate travellers. I know that the course will immediately help me and I can now develop situational awareness and a survival mindset to react confidently in a terrifying situation.
