Remote outdoor environments mean that a casualty may have to be looked after and monitored for a longer time scale than in a typical urban setting.

This course is designed to meet the needs of those that work away from immediate assistance in a remote region.

The course is taught by trainers that have outdoor first aid experience who understand the issues, dilemmas and judgements required when dealing with incidents and accidents that occur in remote environments.

Assessment: You will be required to successfully complete two short multiple choice papers and will be assessed on your practical skills to qualify for your certificate.

This Outdoor / Expedition First Aid has a mix of theory and practical elements. You will be required to kneel on the floor for some of the practical elements

Super knowledgeable, insightful. I could easily listen to Chris speak for another entire course! His stories bring the course and its contents to life, each one poignant and engaging. Chris turns a daunting course into an important, engaging, insightful learning experience. Nothing I would change.

Chris was able to use real life examples from his years of experience to help me understand different situations - this was much better than the usual "death by PowerPoint".
