Specialist Security & Medical Training for High-Risk Environments
Lazarus Training provides Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) designed for peacekeeping organisations deploying to Ukraine. With ongoing conflict, shelling, mines, unexploded ordnance (UXO), and targeted attacks, those working in Ukraine need specialist security, safety, and medical training to operate effectively and reduce risk.
Our HEAT courses align with the European New Training Initiative for Civilian Crisis Management (ENTRi) recommendations for HEAT training, ensuring participants receive internationally recognised, best-practice instruction tailored to the realities of operating in Ukraine.
We have been delivering safety and first aid training in Ukraine since 2018 and continue to provide up-to-date, scenario-based training reflecting the latest threats on the ground.
Train Before Deployment or In-Country
Lazarus Training can deliver HEAT courses both in Ukraine and at selected international venues, allowing organisations to train personnel before deployment or refresh their skills in-country. Whether at your headquarters, a regional hub, or within Ukraine, we provide bespoke training solutions tailored to your operational needs.
