This course is designed for group leaders working in remote areas. The
course is recognised by all outdoor governing bodies e.g. MLTB, BCU, IRATA, RYA etc. as well as exceeding the recommendations for the HSE Approved Emergency First Aid at Work certificate - which is valid for 3 years. You may even be able to get your employer to stump up the funds.
The course includes the following subjects, but can be expanded to cover topics that the group require – please drop me a PM or email if you have any specific requirements:
The course is designed for people who might have to spend longer with the casualty and consider potential evacuation and rescue of casualties. Although certificaction is at a basic level with regards the HSE minimum requirements for the worplace, the course goes much, much further. We will also be including peadiatric coverage in the course - especially with relation to resuscitation. Basically, something ideal for the well prepared bushcrafter or someone travelling to more remote places.
We will have you up and about a lot during the course, with as many scenarios as we can muster with the Wilderness 1-2-1 team putting their acting abilities to the test. You will be put under stress and made to improvise and think outside the box. There will be plenty of time spent around the camp fire swapping tales of the unexpected from time in the great outdoors.
The course will run from a Friday evening until the Sunday afternoon and will cost £100, which will include all certification and materials. We will provide you with lunch on Saturday and Sunday and a hot meal on Saturday night. A well stocked brew box will be in operation at all times throughout the course.
Camping is included within the cost and there will be water available on site. We will also have at least one bush shower in operation - so bring a towel.
The course will be limited to 12 students.
The course will run from friday afternoon on the 12th March 2010 until the Sunday afternoon (14th March). The location will be near Henfield, in West Sussex.
