Wilderness First Responder Recertification – Hybrid
Our Hybrid Wilderness First Responder Recertification Course allows you to study the classroom material at your own pace, followed by a 1-day hands-on skill session.
Course Overview
Wilderness First Responder: Remote and Austere environments create special situations not usually encountered in urban or suburban settings. With this class, first responders in remote outdoor or austere settings will be better prepared to provide advanced first aid when faced with limited resources, longer time to care for someone, and decisions about when and how quickly to evacuate an ill or injured person.
ELIGIBILITY: Any WFR or W-EMT certificate that is current or expired no more than one year ago.
Wilderness First Responder Recertification Course Includes
Information-filled slide and video presentations covering wilderness and remote first responder training, developing an advanced understanding of emergency response in an outdoor setting, including 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 Responder Recertification that meets the requirements for Boy Scouts/Scouting USA’s high-adventure bases, including Philmont, NICA, the National Park Service, and many more.
Prerequisite: Any WFR or W-EMT certificate that is current or expired no more than one year ago.

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.

Feeling prepared!
Scott’s instruction for the Stop the Bleed class I took was clear and concise, with lots of helpful examples and hands-on practice. I especially appreciated the practical approach and emphasis on the core, essential concepts (“pressure!”). I’ll be back for more classes!

Outstanding Instruction and Top-Tier Curriculum
Scott was an outstanding instructor—extremely knowledgeable and highly effective at making sure we truly understood the material, not just memorized it.
The online component was equally impressive, with high-quality videos and lessons from the University of Utah School of Medicine’s Wilderness Medicine Division. It was engaging, well-structured, and clearly built on top-tier expertise.
