Get your wilderness first aid AND CPR certification while learning about how to set up an emergency clinic, in this winter scenario-driven 5-day course.
Learn life-saving first aid skills that can help you when there is no higher care … in a post-disaster situation, if you’re the only person available when someone gets injured, or if you want to help out at an emergency herbal clinic set up in a time of natural disaster…
You will leave with a CPR certification as well as a 16-hour Wilderness First Aid certification issued by ECSI in addition to two textbooks, and optional access to an online post-disaster herbal medicine course. There are 40 hours of on-site training and an additional (optional) 8-week course as an add-on option.
