About the course

Designed as an Advanced Outdoor First Aid experience – this course is action-packed and will give you confidence to look after a patient (and multiple patients) for extended periods of time in an outdoor environment, you don’t know how far away help is!

Content for this course includes everything from basic to possibly extreme injuries and wound care, contacting emergency services and group management. Along with this we discuss the pre-planning and communication skills needed to prepare for emergency events in the outdoors. The pre-course assignments will be sent to you upon registration for this course together with a detailed confirmation on what to bring to make this a unique learning experience. 

The Advanced Outdoor First Aid course combines our ‘Comprehensive Outdoor First Aid’ & ‘Outdoor Emergency Care Management’ course. Please note, that there is a considerable amount of pre-course learning involved, therefore please register early to allow yourself enough time to complete the pre-course assignments before coming to the practical course.
