This course (previously known as Advanced Wilderness First Aid Upgrade) is designed to prepare you to deal with someone for more than 24 hours. We teach a minimum of 75% of the course outside to create a realistic learning environment. This course has the Standard First Aid and CPR C with AED built into the course. Upon successful completion, you will have these certificates built into your Wilderness First Aid certificate. Like the RFA course, we add basic shelter construction that is not part of the certificate.

The course is typically run over two weekends and length is dependent on group size and skill level. The first weekend is made up of the basic Remote First Aid program, and the second weekend is the bridging portion of the course. Both weekends/all four days together make up the full Wilderness First Aid certification. We do hold at least 2 FULL 4 day (in a row) courses a year!

Ages 12-16 can take the course and be certified when participating with a parent/guardian. Two days, 20 hours.

To take advantage of our discounted rate of the full WFA course when it is split over 2 weekends, please contact our office with your preferred course dates and we will be happy to assist you! Call (604)477-4663.

This course is designed for weekend warriors, scout and guide leaders and wilderness instructors staying closer to help. We add basic shelter construction on top of the normal content because of the environment we play in. All of this is taught by Wilderness Guides, so you’re sure to have an epic time.

Must be 12+ years of age.
