ITC Advanced Outdoor First Aid Course (25th – 27th October 2021)

Our ITC Advanced outdoor first aid course is perfect you would like to gain more experience managing casualties in a remote environment. Our advanced outdoor first aid course is aligned with the Institute for Outdoor Learning Band 4. Perfect for those who are leading expeditions in remote areas.

The course is delivered over three days; this allows you to learn the techniques at a pace that suits you. We will also incorporate a night scenario on day two.

COVID-19 Adaptations

While we are operating during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have changed to the way that we deliver our advanced outdoor first aid qualifications.  These changes are in line with the Scottish Government’s Advice, and also our Awarding Body, ITC First. 

This course will make use of an indoor classroom throughout the day. We will still spend approximately 70% of the course outdoors, and the remaining 30% in the classroom. The use of a face mask while indoors is mandatory.

We have created clear, socially distanced areas within the classroom for each learner to work. These areas are numbered, and each learner is designated an area. At the current time, there will be no more than four learners on each course. Each learner will receive a box containing all the equipment that they require, and a mannikin to use throughout the course. 

Our COVID-19 joining instructions provide more information to these adaptations. 

Advanced Outdoor First Aid Course Prerequisites

To get the most out of this course, you must have a current and valid first aid certificate with an outdoor element to attend this course. If you don’t have a suitable certificate, then have a look at our outdoor first aid course, forest school first aid, emergency first aid at work + F, or first aid at work + F courses. This is vital to ensure that you have an understanding of the basic concepts which we will build on.

If you are not sure that this course is suitable for you, then why not take our short minute quiz. This quiz will help you decide if this course is suitable for you.
