When: April 4, 2025 until April 6, 2025
Remote First Aid is practical, hands-on training designed for casual campers or day hikers. Gain the confidence you need to make informed decisions in emergencies when rescue is hours away! Coast Wilderness Medical Training will be customizing the course to scenarios that kayakers may experience. Rather than rigid protocols, the focus is on giving you skills that you can rely on. You can expect immersive training, simple but effective techniques, and the confidence to manage emergencies wherever they occur, with whatever you have at hand.
CPR C with AED is built into the course. Upon successful completion of the course, you will have your Remote First Aid certificate with CPR C and AED and you will qualify for a 20 hour upgrade to Wilderness First Aid.
At the time of registration with Coast Wilderness Medical Training there will also be an opportunity to sign up for an optional 3 hr online Emergency First Aid certificate which is OFA – 1 Equivalent.
