We provide Wilderness oriented First Aid training for outdoor enthusiasts, especially trip leaders, trekkers and mountaineers.

Although no prerequisite training is required, our Basic Wilderness First Aid Course is an intensive 8-14h course which is ideal for persons with prior basic first aid experience. For high school students, Basic First Aid for the Outdoors is recommended.

To prepare yourself before heading off to the Himalayas or other high altitude desitinations, our High Altitude Module is recommended.

"Wilderness settles peace on the soul because it needs no help; it is beyond human contrivance. Wilderness metaphor for unlimited opportunity" E.O.Wilson

Many of us love and seek out wilderness areas for various reasons. Just being "out there" brings an immense sense of refreshment, relief, rejuvenation and excitement.

However, this very environment we love has dangers: falls over rough ground, crevasses, impure water, heat and cold injuries, dehydration and altitude illness. Although these risks can be minimised, accidents and illnesses will happen.

Many of these places are remote and far from emergency services or medical help. In such areas, should an accident or emergency arise, the trekker or climber will have to be the "emergency service".

Knowing how to deal with common problems such as sprains, fractures and bleeding will be extremely useful and can be life saving.
