The Outdoor Pursuits First Aid 8-Hour Level 3 (VTQ) course is suitable for people who might need to respond to a wide range of accidents, injuries and illnesses that they could come across when out in rural and remote areas where professional emergency assistance is not easily accessible.
The Outdoor Pursuits First Aid 8-Hour course is an ideal first aid course for outdoor activity instructors, teachers or leaders operating in locations with close access to further support. This includes: activity instructors, sports coaches, teachers, forest school leaders and anyone who enjoys hiking, cycling and climbing in the great outdoors. The Outdoor Pursuits First Aid 8-Hour course is aligned with the Institute for Outdoor Learning (IOL) Statement of Good Practice on Outdoor First Aid at Band 2.
For attendees who also require an Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) qualification (RQF), this can be incorporated into the course curriculum. If you would like to gain the EFAW qualification, this is available for an additional fee of £15 (£18 incl. VAT) per attendee.
