WHY: Mired in a disaster zone, travel or rural area far from a hospital, or 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 preventable, 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 work and problem-solving exercises. Hands-on experience – a most powerful learning tool – during scenarios comprise ~50% of class. 8:00am – 4 or 5pm all days; you come away with actual do-it-yourself care-giving confidence.

This is one of the most in-depth, hands-on first aid courses on the planet -- empowering graduates with actual care-giving Competence and Confidence to save life and limb. Satisfaction guaranteed.

> FEE: $295 for the 3-day dtWFA.

Please note: if registering less than 10-days to the start of the course, the course fee increases to $345
