The Outdoor First Aid Course is a 16 hour first aid course aimed at those who work or play in the great outdoors. This Outdoor First Aid Course is suitable for workers in the forests or glens of the Highlands & Islands and will maintain the license to practice for those with Outdoor National Governing Body Instructor Awards including Mountain Leader and Single Pitch Awards. The course is designed to meet the needs of those working away from immediate assistance in the remote regions of the UK. It is made up of two units for assessment with  the content from both units  delivered together. These are integrated throughout the course so that the course is relevant for, and aimed at, the outdoor worker from the moment candidates walk through the door.  Comparing and contrasting what is different in the urban context when appropriate, giving the first aider a clear understanding of their first aid roles in urban and outdoor settings.
