HYBRID Disaster+Travel+Wilderness First Aid Certification Course

New opportunity. You can now learn Wilderness First Aid online and in person!

How does this work?

1. Students view our online dtWFA instructional videos at their own pace (same content as the in-person class). There are approximately 7 hours of tutorials.
2. Submit a few assignments
3. Pass an exam
4. Participle in an all-day Skills Scenarios Workshop (SSW) on December 14, 2024 (8am-6pm) in Charlottesville.

• Note: students should try to register for the course +/- one month before the SSW in order to have time to complete all requirements.

Hands-on learn how to save life & limb, when mired in the wilderness of an urban disaster zone, travel or rural area far from hospital, or natural area miles from an access point, during the critical minutes or hours before ambulance arrival. Come away with actual do-it-yourself care-giving skill and confidence, and 2-year SOLO certification. Counts as WFR Recertification, too. No prerequisites.

WHO: Open to the general public, adults & teens with solid attention spans. Know your loved ones are safe wherever they are.

WHY: Mired in a disaster zone, travel or rural area far from a hospital, or natural area miles from an access point ... accidents, destructive weather, and terrorism happen, and all-too-often members of a group are not capable of dealing with the emergency. This leads to improper care of the patient, and endangers the entire group. Many recreational accidents are preventable, and improper care of trauma can compound even simple injuries. Very few first aid programs actually address the issues of providing emergency care in a setting where 911 is overwhelmed or not immediately reachable. In this course, classroom instruction and Q&A are interwoven with practical work and problem-solving exercises. Hands-on experience - a most powerful learning tool - during scenarios comprise ~50% of class.
