Outdoor First Aid

Would you know how to react if an accident occurred in a remote location where help is far away? When incidents occur in rural or wilderness environments, emergency medical assistance can frequently be more than 30 minutes out, leaving the casualty entirely reliant on you. The FAA Level 3 Award in Outdoor First Aid (RQF) is a rigorous, 16-hour course delivered over two days to prepare professionals, guides, and enthusiasts for real-world emergencies. Meeting Institute for Outdoor Learning Band 3 requirements, this qualification trains candidates to take charge of complex outdoor scenarios from managing spinal and chest injuries to treating severe environmental exposure and major illness. Through realistic practical simulations and written assessment, you will gain the vital skills and confidence needed to protect lives until mountain rescue or paramedics can arrive.
