Overview

As we all look to 2021 with a revived sense of hope that life will soon begin to return to normal, there is no doubt that for now, we are still very much in the clutches of this pandemic. Spearfish West Africa has continued to operate safely and successfully. We are acutely aware that CV19 numbers appear to be rising in parts of West Africa, specifically Nigeria. Our advisors on the ground continue to stay connected with those still in-country, providing them with our expert and personal level of security risk management as well as regular Covid-19 updates.

Training

Spearfish West Africa successfully delivered five Hostile Environment Awareness Training courses in Abuja and Lagos before Christmas. The courses were for national staff of the British High Commission to Nigeria. Our HEAT instructors are Nigerian security professionals who intimately understand the challenges of daily life. This was reflected in the various scenarios they used to deliver critical training points throughout the course

Our next Abuja Course is on the 19th -21st January, and we still have a few spaces available. We can offer a discount for bookings of five places or more places, so please do get in touch.

ONLINE TRAVEL SAFE COURSE

Our Training team worked fast to redevelop our Hostile Environment Training and Safety Awareness content to produce our 4-hour live Travel Safe Webinars. We had considered online learning in the past, but CV19 precipitated the leap into the virtual world. On the 27th of January at 2 pm, we are holding a free one-hour 'taster' session for Travel Safe.
