Registration Information

Level up your wilderness medical skills– bridge from a current Wilderness Advanced First Aid to a full-fledged Wilderness first Responder (WFR). This is the industry standard for guides in remote areas.

There is some online review work needed to Bridge or recertify, but the majority of the learning will be in person.

This course can also be used to recertify a current WFR.
