Working for many years in the outdoors, with a huge variety of people, our instructors have  mountains of knowledge which enables them to deliver dynamic courses that utilise their vast experience of delivering Outdoor Activities. This makes our training more applicable and helps students gain vital life-saving skills and knowledge. As a result they will be able to deal confidently and competently with a wide range of situations that could arise in the outdoors.

The course is also suitable for anyone working or playing in the outdoors, such as walkers, climbers, cyclists, golfers, anglers, school party leaders, Scout Leaders, forestry, agriculture and construction workers, etc.

This course covers the syllabus for Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW); therefore a workplace recognised EFAW Certificate is issued in addition to the Outdoor First Aid Certificate.
