Advanced WFA courses are super hard to find. Our version is even rarer: a 2-day bridge, instead of the usual 4-day full course. MEDIC SOLO's version includes challenging, exciting team rescues of people trapped in an actual upside-down vehicle, and a mission to search for and rescue people trapped in an actual crashed airplane.
Building on the skills learned in Wilderness First Aid, and following the same MEDIC-style course format of ~50 / 50: lecture+Q&A / hands-on, this course is a 2-day "bridge" to the Advanced Wilderness First Aid certification.
Prerequisite: Current certification in any one of the following: MEDIC SOLO WFA, SOLO AWFA, or SOLO WFR or SOLO WEMT
*** YOUR SPOT IS NOT RESERVED UNTIL YOU'VE COMPLETELY REGISTERED AT WWW.SOLOWFA.COM ***
This is a 2-day class. 8am-7pm both days.
