Anti Hijack Training

Should you consider doing an anti-hijack course for your employees?

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.

This workshop is adaptively designed to be relevant to you, whether you're:

  • A fleet manager looking to improve the safety of your driver team and reduce incidents of hijacking.

  • Responsible for employee wellness, wanting to provide your commuting team members with smart, easy tactics and techniques for greater personal safety on the road.

  • A family, small group, or community looking to equip yourself and your loved ones with knowledge that could save lives and reduce the likelihood of ever becoming a target of criminals.
