About the Emergency First Aid at Work + Forestry (EFAW+F) Course
Welcome to Emergency Life Support Team, where we provide the training you need for those critical moments when every second counts. Our unique Emergency First Aid at Work + F (EFAW + F) course is specifically designed for outdoor workers in forestry settings, equipping you with the essential skills and knowledge to provide extended care to patients before medical help arrives. In this challenging environment, where access to emergency services may be delayed, our course goes beyond the basics, offering additional skills and considerations necessary for effective first aid. Join us and be prepared to save lives when it truly matters.
The Training Experience: Practical, Not PowerPoint!
We don’t believe in teaching critical life-saving skills by making you stare at a screen. Our training is fully immersive, getting you out of the classroom and into realistic scenarios.
Using highly realistic casualty simulation, you will practice hands-on techniques for the exact types of trauma you might face in the field. We also integrate practical neuroscience into our curriculum—giving you a better understanding of how the brain responds under pressure. This ensures that when a real medical emergency strikes, you can maintain absolute calmness and immediately recall your training.
