The correct type of training is vital for mitigating risks of personnel deployed on operations with military personnel. The training is designed to understand how military units work and how you are provided with the tools to work seamlessly with them in high and low-risk areas and hostile environments. CONDO training addresses crucial elements of personal/collective risks and workers in areas where situational awareness is vital when working with military personnel.
It’s essential to understand precisely what is meant by this training. CONDO is an acronym for Contractor on Deployed Operations. CONDO training is a specialist form of training designed to give contractors an understanding of working with and around military organisations and where they fall under military law should a high-risk situation occur.
Advanced Tactical Resources is adept at providing specialist training for CONDOs, whether at our best-in-class facility or your location; our trainers are mobile. ATR’s training complies with the risk mitigation requirements of (DEFCON) 697 and DEFSTAN 05-129.

What You Should Tell Us Beforehand
Before your CONDO training with us, we must understand the location you’re likely to be deployed to and what your role will be, which helps recommend how to tailor our courses around the specific requirements of you or your group.
Our specialist training for CONDOs is always specifically designed to include all necessary aspects of Hostile Environment Awareness, including a full breakdown of risk mitigation and management, tailored to the skills and requirements of candidates, but ensuring compliance with DEFCON and DEFSTAN criteria.
Benefits of Taking CONDO Training if You’re On Deployed Operations
Although certified CONDO Training is almost universally a requirement for contractors deployed overseas, it also comes with a variety of benefits that will help you both on and off of deployment.
Scenario-Based Exercises to Reinforce Theoretical Knowledge
Our CONDO training is practical and fully intensive. Using adaptive, scenario-based training enables us to teach and reinforce all theoretical knowledge to anyone, regardless of skill level or preferred style of learning.
2-day or 3-day Course Options
We offer our CONDO training courses in either 2-day or 3-day options, allowing us to tailor the course to your needs and the deployment brief you provide.
Situational Awareness Training
Situational Awareness Training is a fundamental skill for personal safety and the safety of those around you, which is true both in and out of deployment. The skills our training provides you with are vital for developing your ability to spot threats and mitigate risks wherever you are.
Real-World Experience
ATR’s personnel are all ex-military/law enforcement/UKSF. This allows us to apply our real-world experience to the specialist training courses we teach, helping us further tailor our training to the needs of your deployment.
