Outdoor First Aid Courses
16 Hour Outdoor First Aid course for those those working away from immediate assistance
We are renowned for delivering highly practical and engaging Outdoor First Aid courses aimed at people undertaking the role of a first aider in an outdoors environment such as Mountain Leaders and Outdoor activity instructors to Forest School Leaders and Duke of Edinburgh leaders.
Our courses are highly practical delivered by experienced tutors with a background in outdoor and remote environments. We use a mixture of outdoor learning to simulate injuries and accidents found in a variety of outdoor settings whether it be outdoor sports, mountain leading, hill walking or forest schools. As first aid is a practical subject, learners will participate in practical hands-on training with continuous assessment and constructive feedback throughout.
Paediatric First Aid:
As many outdoor instructors and forest school practitioners also work in an Early Years school setting, we can also award the certificate for Paediatric First Aid which is a requirement by OFSTED for EYFS, in addition to the 16hr Outdoor First Aid certificate.
All our first aid qualifications provide certificates which are valid for 3 years. CPR is taught in accordance with the current UK Resuscitation Council Guidelines.
