In our courses, Travel&Risk places great emphasis on anchoring learning for our participants. Both in terms of how they avoid problems when traveling to high-risk areas and how they handle critical incidents during the journey. However, even professionals working in high-risk areas rarely end up in serious trouble and therefore do not use most of the mitigation or coping tools from the course. Just like fire drills are repeated year after year, a HEAT course should also be repeated at regular intervals. That's why Travel&Risk offers Refresher HEATs, which are used by many of our regular clients.
In Travel&Risk's ReHEAT, you will refresh your knowledge from your previous HEAT course with a focus on coping tools and critical incidents, including first aid. Participants are also given the opportunity to reflect on their experiences from trips since last HEAT course. They will also be updated on new, current issues.
To participate in ReHEAT, it is a requirement to have attended a full HEAT course. The HEAT training can be with a different provider than Travel&Risk.
A HEAT certificate from Travel&Risk does not have an expiration date, but we recommend a ReHEAT 3-6 years after a HEAT course. Some organizations require periodic updates of the HEAT certificate. A ReHEAT enhances your awareness of travel security, and parts of the training in handling critical situations are repeated in exercises where the challenges are slightly different from a HEAT course.
ReHEAT is conducted in English unless all participants are comfortable with Danish.
ReHEAT gives you the opportunity to update and strengthen your knowledge from a previous HEAT course. The focus is on coping tools, handling critical incidents, and first aid, so you are ready to respond effectively.
ReHEAT gives you time to reflect on your own travel experiences since your last HEAT-course and gets you updated on new, relevant travel safety related topics. This ensures your knowledge stays useful and up-to-date
ReHEAT enhances your awareness of travel security and repeats key exercises with new challenges. This provides a stronger behavioral impact and greater confidence during your travels.
You do not need to have attended a Travel&Risk HEAT course to participate in our ReHEAT. However, since the course only refreshes learning from a HEAT-course, it cannot stand on it's own. Therefore, if you have not previously completed a HEAT-course either with us or with another provider, you cannot participate in the course. You can read about our full, 3-day HEAT-course here.
Your fellow participants will typically be employed by an NGO or work as journalists, photographers, or consultants. Most participants are highly experienced travelers, so the course is also a great opportunity to exchange experiences with others who travel profesionally.
The ReHEAT programme refreshes the elements in our HEAT-course and gives you and your fellow participants the opportunity to exchange experiences and reflect on safety during previous travels.
