WHY:
Mired in a disaster zone, travel or rural area far from a hospital, or nat
ural area miles from an access point … accidents, destructive weather, and
terrorism happen, and all-too-often members of a group are not capable of d
ealing with the emergency. This leads to improper care of the patient, and
endangers the entire group. Many recreational accidents are preventable, an
d improper care of trauma can compound even simple injuries. Very few first
aid programs actually address the issues of providing emergency care in a
setting where 911 is overwhelmed or not immediately reachable. In this cour
se, classroom instruction and Q&A are interwoven with practical work an
d problem-solving exercises. Hands-on experience – a most powerful learning
tool – during scenarios comprise ~50% of class. 8:30am – 6:30pm or 7pm bot
h days; you come away with actual do-it-yourself care-giving confidence.
This is one of the most in-depth, hands-on 2-day first aid courses
on the planet -- empowering graduates with actual care-giving Competence a
nd Confidence to save life and limb. Satisfaction guaranteed.

al about what could go wrong in a hike. I feel much more prepared now. Ever
yone who hikes should take this course!" "It was the *very best* first aid
I ever attended and I've attended many." "The numerous examples of hands-on
practice in evaluating, moving and treating patients gave us lots of pract
ice in applying what we learned." "Best instructor on the East Coast (based
on 4 other courses)." "The encyclopedia knowledge of the instructor. The i
nstructor's willingness to address questions, and willingness to provide in
dividualized attention." "When I walked in the door, the idea of being resp
onsible for someone in a backcountry {or disaster} medical emergency was te
rrifying. Now I feel confident that I can help." "I came upon a motorcycle
accident with 3 injured people. I was able to preserve their lives because
of my SOLO training." - 2-day course graduate Jacquie W., 10/31/2013

br />"Shortly after receiving my WFA cert ... I was one of the first to arr
ive at the rolled SUV and assessed the scene. Most of the emergent voluntee
rs were milling around the SUV, wondering what to do ... I took control to
treat her ... Police and fire/rescue had not yet arrived, although plenty o
f 911 calls went out ... I credit being able to successfully treat my 'pati
ent' to your WFA training." Ian K., 6/5/2008
