80-hour Wilderness First Responder and Advanced First Aid Blended re-certification

The 80 hr Wilderness First Responder Re-Certification course is for those who hold a current 80-hour certification. This comprehensive, professional level program is the “industry standard” for professional responders such as guides, leaders and specialized search and rescue teams looking to re-certify their current certification.

You need a course that complies with ACMG requirements.
You need a workplace first aid certificate for a ‘High Hazard workplace’ (see OHS definitions) with 100 or more employees on site, that is over 20 minutes away from a health care facility under normal travel conditions using available means of transportation.
