Emergency First Aid for Mountain Bikers
A hands-on first aid course that covers common emergencies & injuries in the mountain biking community, through in-person delivery.
This fun and interactive 8 hour course trains people how to react and improvise when dealing with time priority, life threatening emergencies. This course includes initial assessment, disease prevention, secondary survey, airway obstruction, and adult CPR (Level A). This course will also cover recognition and first-aid treatment for head and spine injuries, shock, bleeding, seizures and broken bones. Participants spend the majority of the course doing hands on first-aid, and participating in first-aid scenarios. By practicing with scenarios students gain confidence, learn to improvise, and react in emergency situations.
This course will have a wilderness emphasis and have scenarios specifically tailored to mountain bikers.

Great course with a lot of enthusiasm. Definitely kept me interested over 3 hours on a hot sunny day. 
The instruction was very clear and I am confident I will be able to provide appropriate 1st aid should I need it. Thanks so much!
