We are outdoor, expedition and wilderness First Aid experts and have been delivering courses for over 20 years. Our 16 hour Remote Outdoor First Aid course is designed to ensure that you have the skills and knowledge to administer First Aid in any emergency which may occur in remote conditions. It meets the requirements of many leading bodies such as MLTE, Duke of Edinburgh, & Forest School leaders.
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 aligned with the Institute of Outdoor Learning (IOL) Statement of Good Practice on Outdoor First Aid at Band 3.
The course content is primarily based in the outdoors and recreates emergency scenarios to test your knowledge of responding to an incident where help is not immediately available. Our course is taught through a range of practical scenarios and casualty simulation.
