About the Outdoor First Aid 8 Hour Course
Outdoor First Aid presents rescuers with the unique situation of prolonged care of a patient in a remote area before help arrives. This means that the rescuer is responsible for providing first aid care for the victim until help arrives.
We have developed our 8-hour outdoor first aid course to be as practical as possible. The realistic casualty scenarios really bring the course to life and are a highly effective way of learning how to provide first aid.
We gradually build up your skills and knowledge backed up by a realistic scenario putting it all together.
You are assessed on the outdoor first aid course but it is an ongoing assessment, this removes any of the formal exam nerves.
Who is this course for?
This course is for anyone, but is particularly suitable for those who work outdoors, for example, Tree Surgeons, Estate workers, and anyone who enjoys the great outdoors, to name but a few.
