Outdoor First Aid Training
Practical, professional training for remote and rural environments
When you’re working or adventuring outdoors, accidents can happen far from immediate help. Our Outdoor First Aid Training provides the skills and confidence to manage medical emergencies in challenging environments – until professional help arrives.
Delivered by registered paramedics with real-world frontline experience, this course combines hands-on practical training with flexible online learning, ensuring you gain both the knowledge and the confidence to respond effectively.

Our Outdoor First Aid course is delivered as:
2 days face-to-face training – practical, scenario-based learning in a training environment.
1 day online learning – complete at your own pace before the classroom sessions.
This blended approach means you arrive prepared with the theory, allowing more time for realistic outdoor simulations and practical skills during the in-person days.

Outdoor instructors and activity leaders
Teachers, scout leaders, and Duke of Edinburgh supervisors
Forestry, agriculture, and countryside workers
