What can I gain from an SAS survival course?

People from a variety of backgrounds attend our courses for a variety of reasons. Some wish to gain a better understanding of their environment,others to gain a better understanding of themselves in a situation of adversity. However, all seem to agree that their perceptions of themselves change and consequently new behaviours are generated that can be transferred into the real world. Because of the variety of the courses we can offer there is bound to be something for everyone. Do you want to build your confidence? Build your self-esteem? Find new levels of personal motivation or learn new skills that you would otherwise not be in contact with in your normal day to day environment? Are you a corporate client who wants to build new teams or improve your existing teams? We specialise in this area and have worked with a number of high profile corporates.

Just what do we learn on the courses?

You will learn the essential skills of survival - How to build a shelter, how to keep warm, finding food for free, knowing where you are, map reading and navigating in different conditions. Some of the courses offer military techniques of escape and evasion, fieldcraft, how to track and not be tracked yourself, weapons familiarisation and shooting . Some require high levels of fitness and others just average fitness. All of the courses are task orientated allowing you to think for yourself and work as part of a small team. You will also learn more about yourself and your the beliefs you might have that limit you.

Will I be able to learn these skills in just one day or a weekend?

Our instructors are trained in communication and NLP skills to a very high level and also utilise the techniques of accelerated learning as their methodology. This means that you will be able to leave the course having experienced and practiced new skills and learning methods, methods that promote the development of the individual.
