Outdoor First Aid Training

There is no better place to feed the soul than the great outdoors. Just you (and maybe friends or significant other) and nature. I genuinely can’t think of anything better. 

Don’t let the fact that you’re unprepared for things that can go wrong be the death of you.

Fantastic assessor. I really enjoyed the course and feel competent should I ever encounter a situation where I need to put this into practice, thoroughly enjoyed the interactive aspect to the course. I believe this course meets all the right needs and doesn’t need to improve.
