Wilderness Advanced First Aid

WAFA students leave with a solid understanding of wilderness medicine, feeling confident in their skills at the end of the course. The WAFA hands-on course will give you more practice to build muscle memory and also be an opportunity to practice using judgement and critical thinking skills which are vital for outdoor leadership and safety management.
