Outdoor First Aid Training Courses

We are the outdoor, expedition and wilderness First Aid experts delivering courses for over 25 years.
When working outdoors it can take more time for professional help to arrive, therefore remote first aid is a crucial life-saving skill. We believe that the best way to gain these skills is through hands-on, practical outdoor first aid training, which is enjoyable and leaves people with the knowledge and confidence to know what to do in an emergency.

This course is a Level 3 Outdoor First Aid course, and the content is based on current guidelines published by:

UK Resuscitation Council
Wilderness Medical Society
Currently accepted guidance and best-practice from medical advisory bodies and published evidence for the treatment of First Aid in a remote or wilderness context.

The cost of the training at Mytchett Canal Visitor Centre is £240 inclusive per person and includes free parking, pdf certificate and pdf course resources. All delegates receive FREE skills update training annually as recommended by the Health and Safety Executive.

Practical Outdoor & Remote First Aid Training
When an emergency happens outdoors, professional medical help may be some distance away. Having the knowledge and confidence to manage a casualty in a remote environment can make a critical difference.

For over 26 years, Surrey First Aid Training has been delivering practical Outdoor First Aid courses for outdoor instructors, expedition leaders, Duke of Edinburgh Award leaders, forestry workers, scouts, mountain bikers, paddlesport instructors, walkers and anyone responsible for others in the outdoors.

Unlike classroom-based first aid training, this course is delivered predominantly outdoors using realistic casualty simulations and practical scenarios that reflect the environments in which you'll work. You'll learn how to assess, prioritise and manage casualties when emergency services may be delayed or access is limited.

Our Outdoor First Aid course is developed using current guidance from the UK Resuscitation Council together with recognised remote and wilderness medical best practice, ensuring your training reflects current evidence and accepted clinical guidance.
