Red Cross Wilderness First Aid Courses - Victoria BC and Nanaimo

First-aid course

Try our fun, hands on realistic first-aid training in a no pressure learning environment

Wilderness and Remote First-Aid and CPR Level C

What happens if help is more than 1 hour away? What do I do if I'm two hours away from the hospital? These are common questions in our first-aid courses and this is why we offer the Canadian Red Cross Wilderness and Remote First-Aid course. This course is suitable for any individual who works, lives, or takes trips in isolated or wilderness areas. If you were looking at taking a course that is a little more comprehensive than a Standard First-Aid course and you want to do some of your learning outside then this is the course for you.

Preparation and planning
Your health
Airway emergencies
Adult, Child, Infant CPR

Our Clients Say

Scenarios were excellent - more of those mixed with in field demonstations. Instructors clear, engaging & knowledgeable. Outside regardless of weather is better for all aspects of course.

Nanaimo, BC

Scenarios were great, good opportunities to rotate leadership, 'following', and being part of a large group situation. I liked instruction inside then having a chance to put it all together in scenarios. Good balance of lecture, demo and practice.
