Anti Hijack Training

 

 

Should you consider doing an anti-hijack course?

South Africa is infamously known as the vehicle hijack capital of the world.

In fact, statistics show that a vehicle is hijacked every 22 minutes in South Africa. Vehicle theft through armed robbery is big business, and hijacking gangs and syndicates are highly organized, often very skilled at what they do, and ruthlessly violent if challenged. 

The EDA Anti-Hijack Workshop is designed to equip you with the knowledge, skills, and mindset to avoid becoming the target of hijackers - and in a crisis, to comply and disengage as safely as possible.

 

 

 

 

The EDA Corporate Anti-Hijack Workshop

Each participant is given a comprehensive digital workbook which enables them to refresh what they have learned, and to communicate key points to family members and others. 

The training we offer is 100% safe, inclusive, and suited to everyone regardless of physical ability.

We' re sensitive to the fact that there may be participants in any workshop who have perhaps experienced prior trauma, and we take great care to  approach our presentation from this perspective - in an encouraging, supportive, and highly empowering manner.

Course Duration: 1 Hour



We charge a set fee of R8,470 for this workshop, up to 40 participants.
