What This Course Covers
First aid is an important skill for anyone who works or spends time outdoors. You could have to deal with an injury or prolong a life when help is not close by.
This course is very engaging and we use scenario training to reinforce learning and build real confidence and empower candidates to act when emergencies happen.
Difficult and stressful situations can become more hazardous when you are in harsh environments or unpredictable weather. Having the appropriate skill set can save your life and the lives of others around you.
This 1-day course is designed to teach you the fundamentals of remote first aid. This course goes beyond the recommendations of the HSE Emergency Outdoor First Aid course syllabus and is valid for 3 years.
This course is ideal for anyone who enjoys the outdoors or remote places. From walkers to cyclists, climbers to farmers.
All of our instructors are highly knowledgeable and experienced in coping with real life emergencies and they communicate this knowledge in their courses.
If you are an outdoor instructor looking for a qualification for a job in the outdoors, you will likely need to attend one of our 2 Day Outdoor First Aid courses. If you have any questions about the required qualification for your specific field, please contact your governing body or give us a call.

I just finished the two-day outdoor First Aid Course and it was great! Indy (the instructor) was incredibly knowledgeable and made it easy to learn. We covered everything from CPR to how to handle emergencies like allergic reactions, bleeding, and broken bones, all through some really immersive outdoor hands-on scenarios. It definitely boosted my confidence in handling emergencies. It is something I would recommend to anyone as I think it is an incredibly important life skill to have!

Fantastic course. Indie was easy going and welcoming. I learned a lot, this being my first course in first aid in probably 30 years.

The course leader was very kind when I had to leave the course due to triggers from a recent bereavement where I had to administer CPR. I wonder whether a short sentence to cover the possibility of someone in your teaching group being vulnerable due to past first aid experiences might be an idea with permission to be excused or talk to the instructor might help . Just an idea not a criticism. Thank you

I couldn't have asked for a better instructor than Josh. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable, but he's also an amazing teacher with a huge heart. Josh took what could have been a daunting course and turned it into something truly fun and enjoyable. What impressed me the most, is how affirming, compassionate and people-focused he is. Through this, Josh made sure to support each of us individually and tailor the learning experience to our needs. Thank you for teaching me life-saving skills, and for doing it in a way that kept me feeling happy, confident, and comfortable the whole time.
