HEAT is an intensive course<\/span> aimed at training professionals to deal effectively with high-risk and emergency situations in hostile environments<\/span>. The completion of HEAT is a prerequisite for any mission with the risk rating ‘high’ or ‘critical’. These missions currently include e.g. Central African Republic, Iraq, Libya, Mali, Niger, Somalia, South Sudan and Ukraine. However, HEAT training is valuable in any civilian crisis management operation. If you intend to apply only<\/span> for low or medium risk missions or Secretariat positions only, you do not need to complete the HEAT course.<\/p>\n HEAT 1-2023 20.-24.4.2023<\/strong> in Helsinki\/ J\u00e4mij\u00e4rvi, Finland.
