Training

Our Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) is centred on three key pillars:

Journey Management
Personal Safety
First Aid

We provide globally tailored training designed to fit the specific needs of your environment, organisation, and personnel. Our priority is to create a
secure, engaging learning space where participants can build and refine the critical skills required to operate effectively in challenging settings.

At Spearfish, our Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) is designed to take participants from simple to complex scenarios, progressively
building their skills to handle challenging situations. We understand the extreme situations a typical worker might face in fragile environments, so
we adopt a supportive, step-by-step methodology—never throwing trainees in at the deep end. Our aim is to gradually guide participants out of
their comfort zones, using escalating live scenarios to develop basic to advanced skills and resilience. Our training scenarios are designed with
increasing intensity to test participants

“The evident and enjoyable Spearfish team spirit really helped develop team working amongst the participants and embed the material. The sensitivity of the team to the needs and outlooks of the participants was also remarkable and deeply appreciated.”
