Objective specialise in training journalists and industry professionals operating in war zones and other hazardous areas, based on their expansive civilian and military experience.
The increasing need of safety awareness for young travellers lead to the creation of the Gap Safety course. In one day, students are given advice, warnings and responses to various situations they may face. It’ s mostly common sense, but in the last 2 years, it has been invaluable to previous students who ran into trouble.
