Slipstream’s Blended Delivery Approach

• Workshop participation: You’ll participate in an immersive hands-on workshop.
• Certification: Upon successfully completing the workshop, you’ll have a two-week window to wrap up your self-paced learning, required assignments, and complete the final online exam.

Our unique Blended Delivery approach seamlessly merges hands-on workshops with self-paced online learning, accessible through Slipstream’s Online Campus. This provides a comprehensive and flexible learning experience, allowing students to acquire essential skills and certification in Wilderness First Aid, with a strong emphasis on hands-on training and practical scenarios.
