Case study: UK
Background
In May 2005, we were tasked by a UK Government agency to provide a small training team for deployment to Afghanistan.
The task given to the team was to train local and international staff in Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) and defensive driver training.
We deployed, at short notice, a two man training team to Kabul, Afghanistan where they conducted training for a three week period.
The aim of the training was to train and prepare clients’ employees who were deploying to Afghanistan to recognise and avoid potential threats and equip them, if necessary, to respond to any type of incident. The objective was to allow them to be able to carry out their tasks more securely and confidently.
Results
Over the three weeks, the training team trained over 30 client employees. The client realised the benefits and importance training to their staff and now sends all their international staff to our UK training facility at Pershore to under-go Pre-Deployment and Hostile Environment Awareness Training prior to deployment to Afghanistan.
The client has also established a full time trainer at our Afghanistan facility in Kabul to train local staff in a variety of security awareness and driving skills.
