We have been in discussion with the Institute for Outdoor Learning for several months over this.  We meet and exceed requirements to be compliant to provide you with the best possible learning experience under the current circumstances. You can see our COVID statement here. Please look at the latest news section here for our rationale for blended learning for Outdoor First Aid courses.

This course is suitable for those wishing to have extended skills in Mountain or Wilderness First Aid, to help a casualty in remote areas, to take control of an incident in a hazardous environment and direct others. Successful completion of the course results in a first aid certificate specifically for outdoor activities.  This blended Outdoor First Aid course is accepted by the major Governing Body Awards: Mountain Training, British Canoe Union, British Cycling, MIAS, MBC UK to name a few and contains an element of assessment.   For higher levels of NGB’s the applicant needs to make sure that the first aid qualification taken is suitable for the environment where they will operate: for a complete list please contact 01433 621484.

A set of procedures are taught that can be adapted to suit any event or environment giving participants a structure to work to.  This will ensure participants feel confident to deal with an incident in a remote or wilderness environment where help is delayed.

This course includes certification for 16hrs that is valid for three years.  Emergency First Aid at Work 6hr (at no extra cost) is also included as these topics are embedded into this module.  By attending this course you are also eligible for discounted first aid supplies sold from our shop on site.
