Outdoor first aid 2 day course

This course extends the essential core skills of the 1 day course. It is ideally suited to those who work or play in the outdoors and may have to deal with first aid incidents when at a distance from emergency services. We will therefore consider practicalities such as stabilising and sheltering casualties in the outdoors:

• The course will provide vital first aid essentials such as CPR and Accident Procedures and consider the practicalities of these protocols in the outdoors.
• The course is a 16 hour outdoor course and therefore meets the requirements of NGB qualifications such as ML and SPA.
• Our courses are certified and regulated by an HSE approved provider.
• It is also certified by the QCA and appears on the NQF.
• It extends the core skills of the one day course to look at major injuries such as dealing with broken bones and head injuries.
• As with all our courses we will use our experience of working in remote environments to look at the practicalities of applying these core skills in the outdoors or when operating in remote environments.
