Surviving Hostile Regions Training Course (BTEC IV)
 Surviving Hostile Regions is AKE's world-renowned, five-day course designed for companies and individuals working in a challenging or hostile environment. Established in 1993, the course was the first of its kind and has since become the benchmark for hostile environment training in many sectors. Surviving Hostile Regions will show you how to reduce risks, increase your effectiveness, and maximise control of any situation you're in.
Since each situation is unique, we deal in proven principles rather than suggesting that a situation will unfold in a specified manner - to think that is a risk in itself. We show you what you can predict and how to think through the most likely scenarios, so that you are able to preserve your safety. We encourage self-reliance, and enable you to stay in control.
The Course
The skills and knowledge taught on Surviving Hostile Regions fall into four categories:
Awareness
Medical
Self-sufficiency
Planning
The training is delivered in a blend of lectures and practical scenarios, supported by video footage, demonstration weapons and materials. The programme is comprehensive and interactive, culminating in a series of challenging and realistic training exercises where you put what you've learned into practice.
BTEC Accreditation
AKE's Surviving Hostile Regions course is accredited by Edexcel. This means the course is externally audited to ensure it meets a consistently high standard of excellence. On successful completion of the course graduates are awarded the BTEC Level Four qualification.

We help you put the risks into perspective and give personnel the skills and confidence to deal with situations and thereby remain in control.
