Training & Capacity Building

We live and work in an unstable world. Staff who work in fragile and hostile environments face numerous ever-present risks and threats. Alma Risk offers specialised training courses that prepare you for living and working in countries with higher threat levels.

Training can be delivered here in the UK or abroad in host countries. We offer Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT), Driver Training, and Medical Training alongside bespoke courses covering various relevant topics, including intelligence gathering and other specialist skills.

Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT)

Alma Risk’s HEAT courses equip individuals and teams with the practical skills and confidence to navigate complex security scenarios effectively. Our experienced instructors deliver hands-on training using realistic simulations and scenarios, ensuring participants are prepared to cope with emergencies. Clients learn to avoid and mitigate risks with confidence and competence. Participants take away a comprehensive skill to safeguard personnel and assets in challenging and dynamic environments securely.

Delegates gain confidence and knowledge through engaging content and realistic scenarios delivered by experienced instructors from various backgrounds. We equip clients with the skills to handle emergencies confidently and protect their people and assets in volatile environments.

Driver Training

Our experienced and knowledgeable instructors teach a wide range of advanced driving skills to ensure your personnel have the confidence to drive safely in or away from challenging situations. Delegates learn driving techniques in real-life scenarios for rural and urban environments, which embed the learning for practical application.

Medical Training

Our Hostile Environment First Aid Training (HEFAT) course is designed for those needing more advanced medical training for working in hostile or elevated-risk environments. Higher-level first aid skills and techniques are trained with more advanced medical equipment so attendees can deal with more complex levels of trauma and medical conditions.

HEFAT ensures that your people are best prepared for the risks of working and living in fragile or hostile environments where professional medical care may be hours away. Attendees leave with a better understanding of potential risks and are confident they have the knowledge and skills to mitigate risks should a disaster arise.
