Comprehensive Outdoor First Aid Course
About the New Zealand Outdoor First Aid Course
Our New Zealand Outdoor First Aid course is based on the topics included in the Foundation First Aid unit standards. With scenarios to practice your skills in an outdoor setting, you will use lateral thinking, skills, and techniques to transfer the theory learned into a more challenging environment.
Are you spending a considerable amount of time in the outdoors – either for work or recreation? And you want to learn essential first aid skills to cover the bases in your workplace as well as applying them in the outdoors? Then this course is for you.
