Wilderness First Aid Course Comparisons
Canadian Red Cross Wilderness First Aid courses give you the skills and knowledge you need to be a leader during a medical emergency in a recreational or professionally guided outdoor setting. Learn how to treat injuries and illnesses in remote areas of the wilderness using the supplies available, and make critical decisions about emergency transport, improvised shelters, communications and group safety.
Remote First Aid (RFA) is 20 hours, conducted in an outdoor setting for at least 50% of the course. Wilderness First Aid (WFA) is 40 hours, conducted in an outdoor setting for at least 50% of the course. Wilderness First Responder (WFR) is 80 hours, conducted in an outdoor setting for at least 50% of the course.
Wilderness Bridge and/or Recertification courses are half the hours of the corresponding complete course versions, with the same learning and certification outcomes.
