DESCRIPTION

Don’t Be A Victim - Awareness: Your First Line of Defense is a 2-hour classroom-based course focused on developing real-world situational awareness and personal safety mindset. This class teaches students how to recognize potential threats early, understand pre-incident indicators, and make better decisions to avoid dangerous situations before they escalate.

Students will learn how criminals select victims, how to maintain awareness in everyday environments, and practical strategies to reduce risk and increase personal safety. The goal is not fear—but preparedness, confidence, and control.

Topics Covered:

  • Awareness as your first line of defense

  • Identifying suspicious behavior and pre-attack indicators

  • How attackers select victims

  • Environmental awareness in public and everyday settings

  • Simple strategies to avoid, deter, and escape threats

REFUND & CANCELLATION POLICY

All class registrations are final. Refunds are only considered for verified emergencies, such as medical emergencies, hospitalization, or death in the family. Documentation may be requested.

 

For non-emergency situations, students may receive a one-time class credit toward a future class if they notify HDG at least 48 hours in advance. Credits must be used within 90 days and are generally non-transferable.

 

Cancellations with less than 48 hours notice, or failure to attend, result in forfeiture of the class fee unless it qualifies as a verified emergency. If HDG cancels a class, students will receive either a free transfer to the next class or a full refund.

 

By registering, students agree to these terms.
