RECERTIFICATION ONLY – MUST HAVE CURRENT/VALID WFA CERTIFICATE
Participants will acquire a comprehensive understanding of first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques, as well as the necessary skills to effectively plan, prevent injuries, and ensure safety for themselves and their peers in wilderness, remote workplace, or community settings. The instruction will primarily focus on the development of leadership abilities, assessment and decision-making skills, and strategies for providing extended care for a duration of up to 24 hours. Emphasizing the prevention, health, and overall well-being of the group is of utmost importance.

Additionally, we offer an additional component of basic shelter construction, which is not included in the certification.
