Outdoor Emergency First Aid

Summary: This 8 hour course is designed to provide First Aid training for those working in an outdoor environment but close to civilisation. If you need more advanced skills and/or a 16 hour Outdoor qualification, do look at our 16 hour Outdoor First Aid course.

Note: The 4 Minutes Outdoor courses are targeted at people working in the UK. If you need the First Aid skills for working abroad, or even some of the more remote areas of the UK, we recommend that you look elsewhere for a course focusing on Remote First Aid. This course is probably not for you.

This course is aligned with the Institute of Outdoor Learning’s Statement of Good Practice for Outdoor First Aid at Band 2

Add a 1-day Emergency First Aid at Work qualification

For learners that need a Workplace First Aid Certificate, this can be incorporated into the syllabus and all attendees that need it will receive a Emergency First Aid at Work Certificate as well. There is an additional fee of £20 per student for this optional qualification.
