Outdoor Emergency First Aid (8 hour)
1 day (8 hours)

Suitable for low risk outdoor environments and working conditions that require some outdoor first aid skills, such as country park staff. No previous first aid experience is required to attend this course however it is advised that candidates hold at least a valid 1 day Emergency First Aid at Work qualification.

Who is the Outdoor Emergency First Aid course for?

This one day (8 hour) Outdoor First Aid course is useful for individuals who work in the outdoors close to roads or buildings. The course is designed for people who spend time in outdoor environments, as opposed to being predominantly urban and office based such as country park employees, field technicians, basic expedition leaders (BELA) or individuals involved in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) Scheme.

About this qualification

This course covers the essentials of managing immediate, potentially life threatening incidents in a systematic manner. It is ideal for anyone who may be required to take charge at an outdoor incident, where assistance may not be immediately available. This 1 day (8 hour) course is suitable for many outdoor instructor awards and National Governing Body requirements.

Leaders may require the 2-day (16 hour) Outdoor Pursuits course instead – do check before Booking.
