Big congratulations to the latest group of outdoor first aiders who’ve just completed the Outdoor 16-Hour First Aid Level 3 (VTQ) course! Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast, a walking guide, or someone who just loves spending time in nature, this course is perfect for anyone wanting to be prepared in case of an emergency when help is far away.
The training covered everything from how to handle fractures while out on the trails, to dealing with hypothermia in cold conditions, and responding to allergic reactions or accidents in remote locations. It was a hands-on, practical experience where participants got the chance to practice real-life scenarios, so they know exactly what to do when it matters most.
A huge thanks to our instructors for sharing their knowledge and supporting everyone along the way. By the end of the course, each participant was not only confident in their new skills but also ready to handle whatever comes their way in the great outdoors.
It’s always great to see people committed to being prepared and looking out for others while enjoying outdoor activities. If you’re ready to make sure you’re equipped to handle any emergency, check out our upcoming courses and join the community of outdoor first aiders who are making the outdoors a safer place for everyone.
One of the things that really sets our training apart is our collaboration with the Casualties Union, who provide trained victim actors for our courses. These actors are essential for creating realistic scenarios, allowing our participants to practice their first aid skills on people who can simulate a wide range of injuries and medical conditions. It’s this hands-on experience with real people, not just dummies, that makes all the difference in preparing our first aiders for the unpredictable nature of outdoor emergencies. The Casualties Union’s professionalism and attention to detail make every training session feel as close to a real-life situation as possible, ensuring our students leave feeling fully equipped to handle anything that might come their way.
