Training for when seconds count
WITH COURAGE, CONFIDENCE & COMPASSION
Thank you for visiting the Emergency Life Support Team and our Outdoor First Aid Courses in and around London.
Outdoor First Aid is a specific discipline in First Aid that presents the rescuer with the unique situation of prolonged care of a patient in a remote area before definitive medical care can be provided. In such situations, the emergency medical services may be difficult to obtain or delayed and there are a number of different skills required compared to the urban setting.
We have an amazing outdoor training venue where we run our courses on a regular basis or if you have a group, we would be more than happy to deliver the training at your venue anywhere throughout London.
ABOUT OUR
16 Hour Outdoor First Aid Course
Who is this course for
Whether you are a professional instructor needing to revalidate your NGB qualifications or a hillwalker who wants the confidence to explore further, this course is designed for the unpredictable nature of the British wilderness.
In the Great Outdoors, the “golden hour” isn’t always a reality. We give you the skills to manage incidents, stabilise casualties, and make critical decisions in remote environments where Mountain Rescue or an ambulance might be hours—not minutes—away.
Our course is strictly aligned with the Institute for Outdoor Learning (IOL) Band 3 standards, providing a qualification that is nationally recognised and equivalent to Level 3 Outdoor First Aid.
This course meets the requirements of British Cycling, ML, SPA, RYA, BCU, ASSI, BOF, Duke of Edinburgh’s, BASI, Forest School, National Coasteering Charter and Scouts to name but a few.
How you will be assessed
-
Assessment Through Action: There is no written exam at the end of this course. Instead, your instructor will assess your skills throughout the course. We believe your ability to bandage a wound in the rain is a much better measure of success than a multiple-choice paper.
-
Feedback in Real-Time: Because the assessment is ongoing, you’ll receive immediate, constructive coaching after each scenario, allowing you to refine your technique and build confidence before the course ends.
