HEAT Training
Hazardous Environment Awareness Training (HEAT)

As the days of these courses evolve, they will become progressively more intense. You will have an opportunity to experience SERE, where you will learn how to escape from captivity, shoot and move like an operator, weapon disarmament and learn to inflict disabling deadly force with your bare hands even while loaded down with assault gear and weapons. These are only a few of the examples of what you will be learning under the watchful eyes of our experienced instructor cadre. This course is designed to take the student from entry level to a very high skill level in a short amount of time. HEAT programs are designed to be at a slower pace and tuned for affordability.
