WHY: Mired in a disaster zone, travel or rural area far from a hospital, o
r natural area miles from an access point … accidents, destructive weather,
and terrorism happen, and all-too-often members of a group are not capable
of dealing with the emergency. This leads to improper care of the patient,
and endangers the entire group. Many recreational accidents are preventabl
e, and 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
course, classroom instruction and Q&A are interwoven with practical wo
rk and problem-solving exercises. Hands-on experience – a most powerful lea
rning tool – during scenarios comprise ~50% of class. 8:30am – 6:30pm or 7p
m both days; you come away with actual do-it-yourself care-giving confidenc
e.
This is one of the most in-depth, hands-on 2-day first aid co
urses on the planet -- empowering graduates with actual care-giving Compete
nce and Confidence to save life and limb. Satisfaction guaranteed.

IALS (those without names are from post-course anonymous feedback forms):
"The course blew my expectations out of the water." "I was ... in
denial about what could go wrong in a hike. I feel much more prepared now.
Everyone 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 han
ds-on practice in evaluating, moving and treating patients gave us lots of
practice in applying what we learned." "Best instructor on the East Coast (
based on 4 other courses)." "The encyclopedia knowledge of the instructor.
The instructor's willingness to address questions, and willingness to provi
de individualized attention." "When I walked in the door, the idea of being
responsible for someone in a backcountry {or disaster} medical emergency w
as terrifying. Now I feel confident that I can help." "I came upon a motorc
ycle accident with 3 injured people. I was able to preserve their lives bec
ause of my SOLO training." - 2-day course graduate Jacquie W., 10/31/2013
"Shortly after receiving my WFA cert ... I was one of the first t
o arrive at the rolled SUV and assessed the scene. Most of the emergent vol
unteers were milling around the SUV, wondering what to do ... I took contro
l to treat her ... Police and fire/rescue had not yet arrived, although ple
nty of 911 calls went out ... I credit being able to successfully treat my
'patient' to your WFA training." Ian K., 6/5/2008
