Testimonial
As the teaching vendor for our own Wilderness First Aid Program, Rocky Mountain Adventure Medicine has consistently provided our students with the highest levels of quality instruction and professionalism.
Thank you for being so flexible and accommodating to the Outdoor Centre First Aid Recert group and me. Your efforts and kindness was much appreciated. The first aid course was the best course I have taken to date. Dave’s knowledge, teaching skills, and experience was professional, enjoyable and appreciated.
