The Wilderness Advanced First Aid (WAFA) is the perfect entry-level course for outdoor adventurers and outdoor professionals who may need to provide patient care when help is delayed for hours to days. The course focuses on basic lifesaving skills, patient assessment, field care for common injuries and illnesses, environmental illnesses, and proper reporting for rescue assistance

IMPORTANT: Wilderness Medical Associates uses Moodle for all pre-course paperwork, post-course evaluations, required hybrid online learning, and PDF certifications. This hybrid class is designed for motivated individuals and requires completing roughly 20 hours of online training prior to a two-day, in-person, hands-on learning session. The online and pre-class work for the hybrid WAFA course totals approximately 20 hours. Course content will be available roughly 4 weeks before the in-person session, and the instructor will provide an introduction letter along with registration details for the WMAI learning platform, Moodle. Failure to complete the online training and pre-work paperwork (in Moodle) at least 3 days prior to the in-person training will result in your inability to attend the in-person portion, and no refund will be issued due to lack of completion.
