About
This course teaches advanced skills to be used in emergencies when help from professional first responders may be far away, such as a wilderness setting. Participants will learn to respond with wilderness first aid training when faced with limited resources, longer times to care for someone, and decisions about when and how fast to evacuate an ill or injured person. The course is great for Scouts, people who live or work in a remote setting, or outdoor adventure enthusiasts. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will earn a WRFA certification good for two years.
Prerequisites: Must be at least 14 years old and hold current adult CPR/AED certification.
