Wilderness First Aid Certification

Designed for scouts and scout leaders, outdoor enthusiasts and anyone who works or spends time in remote environments, this course teaches advanced skills to be used in emergencies when help from professional first responders may be far away. Based on the Boy Scouts of America Wilderness First Aid Curriculum and Doctrine Guidelines, this course aligns with OSHA’s Best Practices for Workplace First Aid Training Programs.Prerequisites: Must be at least 14 years old and hold current adult CPR/AED certification.  If you require a CPR certification too you must register for that separately.  NOTE that if a minor requires the certification they must be registered as an adult.  They are welcome to audit for free but we must bill for anyone needing the certification.
