Wilderness First Aid Courses (Including CPR)
Our 3-day Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course is a fast-paced, hands-on introduction to managing common injuries, more serious emergencies, and everything in between. Demonstrations, lectures and practical scenarios where “patients” will challenge you to integrate your learning provide a dynamic learning environment. At the end of the course, you’ll have the knowledge, skills and ability to make sound decisions in emergency situations.
Wilderness First Aid is different from the Red Cross or urban first aid. Focus is on initial and prolonged care for a patient in the back country. NOLS Wilderness Medicine is internationally recognized as the leading school teaching wilderness first aid. The WFA courses are usually 20-30 hours. CPR is always included in the 3 day courses in Scandinavia and Europe. A WFA course can be taught in either Swedish, Finnish or in English.
We have welcomed climbers, trekkers, paddlers, blueberry-pickers, parents, sailors, teachers, outdoor guides, scout leaders, fishermen, hunters and more!
Everyone is welcome, no previous experience required.
