“I am a humanitarian worker with a background of emergency response in countries like Haiti, Ethiopia, Sierra Leone and the Philippines. I took a HASP a year into a longer stint in Afghanistan, one of the most insecure countries for aid workers at this present moment. I found the course incredibly relevant for the kind of context I work in, especially combining the security awareness and tactics of how to react in different situations with the first aid training focusing on trauma response. I now carry my emergency trauma kit in my grab bag and feel confident in how to respond in a crisis situation.
The training was quite different from the usual ‘scare tactic’ security courses and contained a lot of day to day practical suggestions drawing on a variety of different experiences. The trainers were very approachable and continue to provide support and advice when necessary. Overall, I would really recommend the course to other aid workers, chances are nothing bad will happen, but it’s good to have developed the skills to react in advance if it does.”
