Emergency Outdoor First Aid
The 1 Day (8 Hour), Emergency Outdoor First Aid course is designed to teach individuals how to deal with remote first aid, to enable you to handle emergencies when help is not nearby.
At First Aid Exeter, we have a great reputation for our outdoor courses. Our outdoor first aid courses have been created by our head instructor Indie Lyndale. She has over 30 years of experience working in the outdoors as a teacher and extreme sports instructor, both in the UK and abroad as an international mountain guide. Our courses go beyond the recommendations by the HSE for the Emergency Outdoor First Aid syllabus, and focus on practical skills and real life scenarios.

What This Course Covers
First aid is a vital skill for anyone who works or spends time in the outdoors. You never know when you might need to treat an injury or save a life when help is far away.
This course is very hands-on and we use scenario training to reinforce learning and build real confidence and empower candidates to act when emergencies happen.
Challenging and stressful situations can get even worse when you are in harsh environments or unpredictable weather. Having the right skill set can make the difference between life and death for you and others around you.
This 1-day course is designed to teach you the basics of remote first aid. This course goes beyond the recommendations of the HSE Emergency Outdoor First Aid course syllabus and is valid for 3 years.
This course is perfect for anyone who enjoys the outdoors or remote places. From walkers to cyclists, climbers to farmers.
All of our instructors are highly qualified and experienced in dealing with real life emergencies and they share this knowledge in their courses.
If you are an outdoor instructor looking for a qualification for a job in the outdoors, you will probably need to attend one of our 2 Day Outdoor First Aid courses. If you are not sure about the required qualification for your specific field, please contact your governing body or give us a call.
