16-Hour Outdoor First Aid Course for Remote, Wilderness & Outdoor Enthusiasts.
When you're outdoors, help isn’t always five minutes away. This nationally recognised course is built for those out in remote, rural, and wilderness settings, where you're likely to be caring for a casualty for longer than in typical urban incidents.
Whether you're leading a mountain group, coaching in the forest, or just heading off-grid, this is the course that will give you the skills and confidence to manage emergencies in the field.
This 16-hour course consists of 2 units:
Unit 1 - Outdoor Emergency Action
Unit 2 - Outdoor Incident Management
This course is non refundable but you have the option to transfer it to another person if you cannot make it on the day. This option is valid up until the 10th October
