Our Instant Network Emergency Response teams are trained to deploy after disasters and restore communications. The environments they experience are often tough and extraordinary to their normal working conditions. For the past 10 years, we have relied on Blue Mountain to design and deliver residential training courses to our teams. The courses are challenging (by design) but always highly rewarding for the participants, and have provided them with essential skills and know-how for over 20 emergency deployments to date. Without these trainings, we wouldn’t feel as confident as we do about our ability to ‘get the job done’ in difficult terrain and extreme circumstances.

Testimonials

The instructor has been nothing but top class from start to finish. He used his vast experience/knowledge to give a greater depth to each module that went way beyond the SIA requirements. The method of teaching ensured that we not only understood what was required of us, but that we were able to show and prove it to the instructor as well.

Daniel Griffiths

Well run course provided by experienced ex military instructors who make the course engaging, interesting and fun while imparting useful advice.

Anthony Remson

I attended the course with a view to deployment to hostile environments later on in the year, and can safely say that I have gone from knowing nothing to feeling confident and prepared to operate safely and efficiently in challenging environments. I cannot recommend BMG and their HEFAT course highly enough!
