Our I-HEAT Mission:
Our mission is to raise standards in the HEAT industry, whilst reducing costs to make HEAT more affordable and accessible for students and young people, who’s chosen interests and subjects involve international travel to complex environments.

The course can be trained at our rural private centre or we can train at the place of study. 

"I have been living in a bubble. I'll look at things differently since the HEAT course, my eyes are wide open now!" CJ,Photography Student, candidate 2022. 

By teaching younger people through scenario training we really stimulate their ability to focus and learn how to handle difficult situations in the real world.  By transferring knowledge from first class trainers – with decades of military and public sector experience such as British Police - we aim to mitigate risk for those travelling for work, education, assigned to research projects and other overseas assignments.

Raising awareness of the modern global dangers is an important mission and one that we are dedicated to.  We provide a productive, safe and enjoyable learning environment – we are not a gun ho training centre but an ethical company with our learners safety in the forefront of all we do.
