LEAD HEAT INSTRUCTOR- UKRAINE 

SPEARFISH IS LOOKING FOR AN EXPERIENCED UKRAINIAN-SPEAKING INSTRUCTOR TO JOIN AND LEAD THE DELIVERY OF SPEARFISH HEAT COURSES IN UKRAINE

Spearfish have delivered Hostile Environment Awareness Training courses around the world since 2012. We currently offer heavily contextualised content across Africa and Asia, and more recently Ukraine, where we have a registered LLC. Our courses combine the experience of our qualified subject matter experts with facilitated discussion groups and immersive training exercises. 

One thing that typifies our instructors is their real-world experience of providing security advice and services in the field. This real-world experience is essential to tailoring our training courses for our clients. Our courses also offer a large component of medical training alongside many other skills required to navigate a typical high-risk deployment. Our delivery style relies on strong inter-personal skills to convey principles and techniques to a wide range of nationalities, sectors and experience levels of those on our courses.
