Due to the recent terrorist atrocities that have occurred in parts of Europe as well as on the global scale, Orchid Risk has begun providing a bespoke security awareness course for sustained resilience. For large companies who consider a duty of care to their personnel, this is the perfect opportunity.
Our Personal Security Awareness in Hostile Situations training course is aimed at people who live, work or travel to places that run the risk of becoming victims to a terrorist attack or active shooters. We deliver training for urban survival with a “run, hide, tell” principle.
You will be given very simple general advice as well as more complex tips and techniques to employ. This includes advice on hotel security and travel security including navigating by cars, taxis, trains and planes.
We will deliver straightforward information on ballistics that can help people effectively decide how to be safe and seek hard cover. This is done through gaining a better understanding of the effects of gunshots and explosions.
Basic Life Support that keeps yourself and others alive during the so-called Golden Hour will be included. All of our instructors have first-hand experience across all aspects of every subject. Their knowledge is current and relevant, and guaranteed to be up to date and effective in these situations.
Our focus group is considered to suit all of the following industries, but is not limited to:

“I will start by telling you why I went for Orchid Risk. There are many close protection courses out there – all will say they do the best course run by ex UK Special Forces and of course they are. They rate how good they are by how kinetic and gung-ho they can be in preparing you for hostile environments. The real CP world is much broader and with the attacks in France and wider Europe, CP is getting closer to home.
Orchid Risk is the only one I found that offers both corporate and hostile environment, instructed by people (UKSF and Civil Police) with many years’ experience in the Military environment and Civil Police. They have worked for members of Parliament, Royalty, drug squads and others to give you a broad and diverse training package.
It covered all aspects of CP to a high standard. Planning, reconnaissance, driving, surveillance and counter surveillance, search and resident CP as well as hostile environment training done in real time locations in and around the Poole area.
The course will test you, putting you under real scrutiny on a daily basis to ensure you end the course at your best and ready for the job. The important thing is – will the course get you work? I did my course in April 2016 and was getting jobs in London and South England end of May 2016. The course was very good, demanding and of course enjoyable, led by staff and instructors that I still keep in touch with today.” –Adam Benfield
