Outdoor First Aid – Snowdonia

• Level 3 Award in Outdoor First Aid
• Learn how to deal with emergencies in the outdoors
• Friendly, relaxed courses taught by outdoor professionals
• Active learning rather than boredom by PowerPoint!

Our comprehensive two-day (16 hour) outdoor first aid qualification will provide you with the skills and knowledge to respond to a range of emergency outdoor situations. Based in Eryri (Snowdonia), North Wales, you’ll learn about when and how to move a casualty, how to deal with major illnesses and injuries, administering CPR and managing someone who is unresponsive.

The course is perfect for anyone spending time in the outdoors whether you’re a keen hillwalker or outdoor professional. If you find yourself in an environment where emergency medical assistance could be more than 30 minutes away, these outdoor first aid skills are essential.

Courses are delivered in a friendly, relaxed manner by experienced outdoor professionals. We keep medical jargon to a minimum with the focus being on practical, active learning. We believe the best way to learn is by ‘doing’ and not by sitting in a classroom with a notebook listening to someone talk at you. Where weather conditions allow, much of the course is taught in the outdoors … exactly where you’d expect to use your new found skills.

The qualification meets the Outdoor First Aid Band 3 requirements set by the Institute for Outdoor Learning and is ideal for those with outdoor instructor qualifications such as Mountain Leader, Rock Climbing Instructor, Paddlesports Instructor, etc. It’s also essential learning for Scout and Guide Leaders, DofE instructors and assessors, forest school leaders and many more.

Your course fee includes a high quality, comprehensive outdoor first aid book, a CPR keyring face shield and a casualty report form for you to copy and use as you wish.
