The Risk Academy

02/10/2026

Whether you’re deploying to a volatile region for work or setting off on a gap year, the goal is the same: come home safe. 🌍

🎯 H.E.A.T Knowledge Course: For professionals working in conflict zones, remote regions and unstable environments. You’ll arrive knowing how to prepare before deployment, move safely between locations, work alongside armed security, and recognise weapons and UXO threats. That frees you to focus on the job you’re there to do.

✈️ Gap Year Travel Safety & Risk Management: For young travellers, and the parents waving them off. Plan smarter, stay safe on the ground, look after your health, and know exactly what to do if something goes wrong.

Built on real operational experience, not textbook theory.

Close protection isn’t learned from a textbook. It’s learned from people who’ve done the job.

Our Level 3 Close Protection Operative Course gives you a credible way into the industry. Over 18 days you’ll train in vehicle drills and live principal exercises, gain your Level 3 FAAW medical, and earn the Level 3 qualification you need to apply for your SIA licence.

Built for the job, not just the exam.
