"Non-stop exposure to small and big incidents, situations and characters. A course where you can't let your guard down (in the best way). Incredibly, incredibly well thought out, designed and orchestrated. Trust nothing."
Amber, Crikey, Hostile Environment Awareness Training
"The course has completely exceeded my expectations. I truly thought it was an incredible opportunity that was engaging and informative. Many of the topics we learnt about had cleared up a lot of existing knowledge gaps and painted a much clearer picture of what humanitarian aid workers actually do and what’s involved."
Michael, University of New South Wales, Essentials of Humanitarian Practice
