Are you the business traveller that moves around the UK or do you travel globally and work in more complex environments ?

Do you know someone who is complacent when travelling ?

Have you been made to feel uncomfortable when travelling with someone else who puts you in danger ?

ATR's Approach to business awareness

As a result, ATR conducted some free webinars where we discussed techniques on avoiding unnecessary risk, but should someone get into difficulty, we spoke about the actions you could use when breaking away by creating space between the person and the attacker.

From the requests from many attendees, we subsequently launched our Situational Awareness courses specifically designed for improving many different safety aspects surrounding business concerns, these included working alone, working in a confined space or travelling to areas such as Sub-Saharan Africa, Ukraine or the USA.

Situational Awareness Training

Through an alternative way of teaching on how to better understand and reduce the risk to yourself in these types of situations, we will explain how you need to notice the absence of the normal and the presence of the abnormal. To put this in perspective, your awareness can be raised most of the time in the unconscious if you know what you are looking for as our brain is full of programs. A good example of this is not having to re-teach how to wake up every day, get dressed in the morning, make a cup of tea, or make a journey to wherever it is you need to go. Teaching you situational awareness is much the same, it becomes programmed.

Why is Situational Awareness Important?

Situational awareness is a vital factor in survival and safety that we must adopt every single day. No matter where we are, or how familiar our environment is, we are always vulnerable, and we may not be acutely aware of potential dangers that exist. Here at ATR, we will teach you the mechanisms and tools that give you heightened situational awareness in everyday matters as well as potentially hostile environments.

Ultimately, our goal is to help keep employers and employees safe, and we’ll structure the course in ways to make you feel safer in everyday situations. Through the training, we will teach you avoidance, meaning that hopefully you’ll have the ability to get away from a potential danger that you’ve identified before confrontation. If you find yourself in danger where you might have mis-read the signs, we will give you the knowledge and techniques of how to escape.

Please understand, the course isn’t designed to teach you how to fight, we will teach you how to break free and get to safety as quickly as possible.

Based in Pangbourne, Reading, for best results, our on-site training program is delivered around creating realistic scenarios that allow the trainee to practice in a controlled simulated environment. Using these training techniques and methods, we believe our course will build the necessary resilience and confidence to enable you to de-escalate and steer situations in the right and safer direction.
