Our Wilderness First Responder course is designed to provide an individual with an in-depth knowledge of wilderness medicine and the basic skills to treat the most common injuries and illnesses encountered in the wilderness. This program is appropriate for professional guides and other non-medical people who want a deeper understanding of wilderness medicine.
This WFR Hybrid course requires approximately 50+ hours of online coursework. Following the completion of the online material, a student will be eligible to attend the 30+ hours of hands-on training. During the in-person course, students will learn the latest wilderness medicine skills for patient assessment, treatment, and evacuation. Our expert instructors employ a wide scope of teaching methods, balancing lectures with practical, hands-on skills and scenarios. Emphasis is placed not just on the materials learned, but the critical decision-making skills surrounding effective backcountry medical management.
Students who are recertifying will have upwards of 20 hours of online coursework, and will only be required to attend the first two days of the training.
Successful completion of this course will result in three certificates:
Wilderness First Responder (WFR)
valid 2 years with a one-year grace period
CPR Certificate
valid 2 years
Lay Rescuer Epinephrine Auto-Injector Certificate (upon request)
This certificate may be submitted to state agencies for reciprocity. Please inquire with your state agency to confirm and know additional fees may apply.
