Virtual Wilderness First Aid Training

• Format: 100% online with synchronous hands-on workshop
• Requirements: Computer or tablet & stable WI-FI to participate in the Virtual Workshop daily

Our Virtual training options bring the world of Wilderness First Aid to your fingertips, 100% online. With synchronous hands-on workshops, you can attend from the comfort of your home using your computer or tablet. In a collaborative online setting, you’ll work in groups, engaging in simulated first aid scenarios using a customized scarecrow “patient” that you’ll craft before the workshop. If you are registering with less than two weeks before the workshop date, please refer to this short-notice registration.
