Your own professional medical kit and instruction cards
During the module “Medical First Aid” our specialists teach you to use a professional medical kit specifically designed for remote areas. You will receive this medical kit for free to bring home and on your travels.
At the end of each segment of the HEAT training, you will receive an instruction card with a summary of everything you have learned. The instruction cards are waterproof, so they are handy and practical for carrying in the field.
Safe learning environment
Your safety and well-being are our primary concerns. Before and during the course, you can share your prior experiences with the trainers.
They can discreetly adapt the course for you to ensure this will be the best and safest learning experience you have ever had.
With a host available, you can take a time-out whenever necessary for support.
Learning through practice
We firmly believe that practical exercises offer the most powerful learning experience.
Our experts offer you a unique opportunity to confront threatening situations in a controlled and safe environment. On both days you will practice with a professional actor.
These exercises enhance your understanding of how you react to unexpected situations.
Together, we will navigate these challenges, and through insightful feedback, you will learn effective strategies to manage them confidently.

What clothes do I wear during the training?
Please adjust your clothing according to the weather forecast. You should wear outdoor shoes as the ground might be wet, slippery, and sloped. Your clothing should enable you to lie down and crawl on the (sometimes dirty) ground.
Is it possible to reserve a course spot as an option?
Unfortunately, CSD cannot record an optional reservation for you.
However, you can move or cancel your registration free of charge up to three weeks before the start of your chosen training.
I am self-employed; can I register for your training?
Yes, you are welcome.
Can you provide a detailed schedule of the training?
After registration, you will receive a timetable with the programme from us.
Can I stay at home overnight during a HEAT training?
We strongly recommend staying overnight at the hotel, as the program is very intensive and immersive. The days end at 10 PM, and the next day’s programme starts early.
I will need to miss part of the training. Is that a problem?
Please note that full participation in the course is required. To receive your certificate, you must attend all modules. Due to the full-day program, there is no time available for work.
Will you arrange my visa?
CSD does not provide an invitation letter or visa support.
Do you organise transportation from the airport to the training site?
CSD does not provide transportation for open training courses. However, on the training details webpage, you can find suggestions for transportation.
Can you fund my participation in the training?
CSD does not fund participants.
Does CSD cover travel costs?
You are responsible for covering your own travel costs.
Can I get a discount?
This is possible when you have multiple participants that we can include on an invoice. Please contact us to discuss the options.
Is this course safe for me?
Participant safety is crucial in all our training courses. We can tailor the training to your mental and physical limits if you communicate them to us. You are also free to take a time-out at any time. If you feel we can accommodate you in a better way, we can adjust the course to ensure you have the best learning experience.
Will there be sleep deprivation?
There is no sleep deprivation (intentionally depriving participants of sleep) in our open courses; we will not wake you up at night. A well-rested participant learns more than a tired participant. Also, in our open courses, sleep deprivation is not a learning goal.
Are there high physical demands?
A HEAT course is not physically demanding. If you are in reasonable physical health, you can complete the course easily. If you have physical limitations, please let us know, and we will adjust the course to ensure it is suitable for you.
