First aid and medical training for urban, wilderness and hostile environments
High Peak Wilderness First Aid
Expedition Leader Module 3
8 hrs
£150 inc VAT
Next course is 15th June
Course Description
Due to social distancing, we are only taking four people per course in June and July. As a result of this the fee has increased but will include:
All PPE. We are using see-through face shields so you do not have to struggle the day through a paper mask which often increases face touching to adjust the fit. In addition, you keep the face shield.
Four people per course will ensure you receive more practical sessions and individual attention.
You will receive one mannequin per person with face shield.
This course is suitable for people working or travelling outside the United Kingdom such as expedition leaders, researchers, NGO staff and journalists. You can attend this training with no previous first aid experience. There are discounts for group bookings allowing people to have flexibility on dates to attend as individuals or as a group: course credits have no expiry date. Please contact 01433 621484 for further details on group bookings.
