Remote First Aid

The course and content is very much aimed at Mountain Leaders and Outdoor activity instructors such as Canoeing, climbing and ski instructors but also very suited to forest leaders and Duke of Edinburgh leaders.

Although it’s recommended that some basic first aid knowledge is held, pre course reading is a requirement for this course. Those attending will also be required to be physically fit and able to work in cold outdoor environments.

This is a very practical, scenario-based course which allows learners to practice skills and contextualise theory in realistic situations.

The course also covers the Emergency First Aid at Work syllabus that meets the requirements of Health and Safety (First Aid) regulations on first aid training, therefore we can provide you with this certificate also.
