Objective Travel Safety specialises in training a wide range of professionals and individuals prior to their travels. Since 2002, we have been running Hostile Environment Safety Training Courses (also known as HEST/HET/HEFAT/HEAT) for journalists and media professionals deploying to conflict zones. We hold the contract with the European Broadcast Union Acedemy (EBU) and deliver courses for most of the UK's print and TV media. We also run courses for Business Travellers, NGOs, Charities, Humanitarian Aid Workers and multi-national companies who send employees to post-conflict countries and medium to high risk zones. In addition, courses are also available for Leisure and Adventure Travel and Expeditions, such as The Mongol Rally.
Objective Travel Safety trained Ewan McGregor & Charley Boorman before both the 'Long Way Round' & 'Long Way Down' motorbike expeditions.

Both boys thoroughly enjoyed the course and found it very insightful, useful and interesting. I would therefore strongly recommend highly any young person embarking on a gap year to do it. Please pass my thanks on to your team.

“I got so much out of yesterday’s virtual course. I am travelling to Thailand and surrounding areas next month and the course was relatable and easy to understand and has given me loads of helpful information. I highly recommend anyone doing one of these courses as it opens your eyes to what can happen and leaves you with lots of valuable hints.” Ben, Gap course attendee.

Amelia found the course really helpful with tips that she hadn’t thought about previously. Really good practical advice and well delivered. It has given us reassurance that she’s done the course with you and I suspect will have taken on the advice better than had it been from her parents!
Many many thanks, Anna-Kate
