Advanced Wilderness First Aid (AWFA) (4 days - 32 hours)

The AWFA course is an excellent starting point for serious recreational adventurers or those starting in the Outdoor Recreation/Education fields. Plenty of scenarios, CPR/EAR and a solid understanding of patient assessment sets you up for success.

This course will give you a solid grounding in patient assessment and many of the key topics in Wilderness First Aid.

With four days of practice and content, you will leave this course assessed to a high level and confident in your new skills.

Upon completion and assessment, you will be issued with an Advanced Wilderness First Aid (AWFA) Certification valid for three years, a CPR Certification valid for one year and a Statement of Attainment outlining the Nationally Accredited Units of Competency attained.

Testimonials

“I loved the scenario’s! It was fun being thrown into a situation that we may have to deal with.” Chantel NSW 2009

“Scenarios and being a patient and assistant helps learn well on what’s missing. ...Well organised and controlled for optimum experience and intake”. Wendy Vic 2009

“I like how you built the training up over the week & not just put it all on us. Gave us lots of chances to practice.” NSW 2009

"I found the hands-on components very useful - practicing the things we had learnt in life-like scenarios was good for memory retention as well as testing us under pressure" - Carlo T Blue Mtns '04

"I loved the way there were a variety of teaching styles/methods that were geared to students who learn via visual, auditory or kinesthetic ways. Even though there was a ton of info, it was presented in a concise, brief way that we could easily understand, digest and REMEMBER!" Jennie Blue Mtns '04
