This practical 2‑day Outdoor First Aid course is designed for anyone who spends time in remote or outdoor environments and wants to feel confident responding to real‑life incidents. Training is hands‑on, scenario‑based, and delivered in a calm, supportive way that helps learners build skills without pressure.

Across 16 guided learning hours, you’ll learn how to assess and manage a wide range of injuries and illnesses when help may be delayed. The course includes realistic outdoor scenarios, decision‑making practice, and plenty of time to develop practical skills.

Open to learners aged 16+, with reasonable adjustments available. Because the course includes practical assessments, learners need to be able to get to the floor and demonstrate skills such as CPR at ground level.

This qualification is valid for three years.
