Reduce your risk of becoming a victim in your new environment
Field Security Seminar – 3 days

When we cross cultures, we inevitably encounter situations we’re not fully prepared for—whether at border crossings, during interactions with local authorities, or even in everyday places like the market.
This course equips you with the knowledge and skills needed to stay safe and lead well in crisis situations through proven adult learning techniques. Taught by security experts, blends classroom instruction, group discussions, real-world case studies, and immersive live simulations.
