Wilderness First Aid Certification – Hybrid
Our Hybrid Wilderness First Aid Course allows you to learn the classroom material at your own pace, followed by a 1-day hands-on skill session.
Course Overview
Wilderness First Aid: Remote and Austere environments create special situations not usually encountered in urban or suburban settings. With this class, first aid providers in remote outdoor or austere settings will be better prepared to respond with first aid training when faced with limited resources, longer times to care for someone, and decisions about when and how quickly to evacuate an ill or injured person.
Learn how to handle medical emergencies when 911 is more than a quick call away.
Wilderness First Aid Course Includes
Information-filled slide presentation covering wilderness and remote first aid, from a basic understanding of emergency response in an outdoor setting to specific techniques and considerations for various injuries and illnesses.
Class topics include
- Preparation and Assessment
- Preventing and Caring for Injuries and Illnesses
- Environmental Hazards
- Other Considerations
This hybrid course combines 8 hours of self-paced online training with 1 day of in-person scenarios and hands-on skills practice led by a Survival Med-certified instructor.
Includes a two-year Wilderness First Aid certification that meets the requirements for Boy Scouts/Scouting USA’s high-adventure bases, including Philmont, NICA, the National Park Service, and many more.

Wonderful teacher & trainer. He kept the class engaged and ensured we practiced and mastered the skills. Thank you.
Great classes, thanks Scott!
I’ve taken the Stop the Bleed and wilderness first aid class, both were awesome and great learning opportunities. Great hands on practice and feedback with instructions.

Thank you Joe, It is a pleasure having you in class. We appreciate you choosing us for your training needs!
Absolutely wonderful class
I’ve been taking these classes for years and this was so informative and helpful way more then the others I have taken.
The pitch is simple:
Take this class and save a life. Scott was our instructor and he was phenomenal. He gave us the tools, guided practice, and resulting confidence that we’ll not only be able to help in an emergency situation, but administer CPR effectively to an adult, child or infant, and respond to a choking incident.
The best CPR class I’ve taken to date, and I have taken MANY.
Scott is a skilled instructor who teaches from experience and with heart. The video teaching materials are finally (more) gender and racially inclusive.

Thank you Jamie, great having you in class
The instructor was really great
I was comfortable within the class and to ask questions if I didn’t understand. He was informative, funny, and a really good teacher. Unlike other CPR/First Aid classes, the time didn’t drag on but it went quickly and the information was given in a way that I believe my retention on the subject will be much better.

Above and beyond expectations
Scott’s class was excellent. I remained fully engaged throughout and gained valuable, updated information that had not been covered in the previous sessions. I feel better equipped in my role now and more confident in supporting the team effectively.

Stop the bleed
Scott was an amazing instructor, very informative and hands on. I feel comfortable now with placing using and providing tourniquets !!! 10 / 10 I really like how at the end of the class they provided supplies in which we could purchase. As I did not know a tourniquet called SWAT that I was able to buy. Thank you again.
