What This Course Covers

First aid is an essential skill for anyone who works or spends time outdoors, where injuries or medical emergencies may occur far from immediate help.

This highly interactive one-day course focuses on remote first aid and uses realistic, scenario-based training to build practical skills and confidence. Participants learn how to respond effectively in challenging environments, including adverse weather and remote locations, where the right actions can be life-saving.

The course exceeds the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) Emergency Outdoor First Aid syllabus and provides a qualification valid for three years. It is suitable for anyone who spends time outdoors, including walkers, cyclists, climbers, farmers, and outdoor enthusiasts.

All training is delivered by experienced instructors with extensive real-world emergency response backgrounds.

Outdoor instructors or those requiring a professional qualification may need to attend a two-day Outdoor First Aid course. If you are unsure which qualification is appropriate, please consult your governing body or contact us for advice.

Qualification

Your Emergency Outdoor First Aid qualification will be valid for 3 years from the date that you complete your training. If you wish to renew your certificate you will need to attend another 8 hour, Emergency Outdoor First Aid course.

If you would like to read more about the HSE requirements for how to choose a first aid provider please Click Here.

In 2013, the HSE deregulated the first aid industry so there is no longer any requirement for externally regulated certification. In some very specific instances for specialist environments, external regulation is requested so if this is something you require you must bring this to our attention before making a booking and we can advise accordingly.
