Wilderness First Aid Basics

 

Call Nancy Young, Health and Safety Director, if you want to schedule a Wilderness First Aid Basics Class at your site. (6 students minimum):

  •  16 hours
  •  3-year certificate
  • $125.00
  •  Meets the requirements for Use Permit at State Parks in Humboldt and Del Norte Counties

This class uses a combination of classroom, skills, practice and role play learning to teach the response steps and treatment of injuries and illnesses in a delayed-help situation. It is designed for those who work, live or play in remote areas - away from the usual EMS service. Even though the emergency workers near these areas may be trained to search for and rescue those in need, there may be a delay in the notification of assistance, the time required to get to the patient or in moving the patient to more advanced treatment.
