Wilderness First Aid course 


While I usually only offer a Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course in combination with my SVELAV PRO 1 avalanche course, this season we are also offering the course separately from the avalanche courses. The WFA is designed for participants of all backgrounds and experience levels. With a strong emphasis on hands-on learning, students will engage in realistic outdoor scenarios to build practical skills and confidence. 

Participants will learn to:
  • Assess emergency situations, with a focus on winter environments. 
  • Improvise using available resources
  • Stabilise patients effectively
  • Determine the best evacuation strategy to reach definitive medical care.
  • CPR

The course is run by ︎Rescue 3 Norge - more course details can be found on ︎their website.
Note that this course meets the first aid requirements for the SVELAV PRO 1.
