| Wilderness First Aid |
The Wilderness Emergency Care program supports a family of courses to meet the needs
of everyone with outdoor interests, from easy day trips to challenging and technical
activities, including wilderness rescue. The textbook not only explains the concepts in clear
language, it also shows you how to do all the skills, step by step, with many photos and
drawings along with hands on training.
Family of Courses
Basic Wilderness First Aid is an intensive 8- to 10-hour course for those who are involved
in wilderness recreation. This course may also meet the needs of volunteers and
professionals who lead groups on short trips in relatively low-risk situations.
Wilderness Advanced First Aid is a 16- to 20-hour course for those who are involved in
serious wilderness activities. This course is the choice of many wilderness trip leaders and
guides.
Wilderness First Responder is a 60- to 80-hour course for wilderness professionals and
others who want a higher level of training or require certification.
The First Responder course requires a written test, must receive 80% or higher and a
performance evaluation. Upon completion each student will receive a 2 year certification.
