Whether you're a scout, an outdoor enthusiast or you work in a remote environment, our Wilderness and Remote First Aid course gives you the skills you need to respond to an emergency when help may be delayed. This 16-hour course is based on the Boy Scouts of America Wilderness First Aid Curriculum and Doctrine Guidelines. The course also offers enhanced content and topics to meet OSHA's Best Practices for Workplace First Aid Training Programs - particularly important for occupational environments that are impacted by federal regulations. If you live, work or

and is very similar in content to basic courses offered by NOLS, SOLO,
ASHI, ECSI, Wilderness Medicine Institute, Wilderness Medical Associates
and Wilderness Safety Council. This course is recommended for:
