Level 2 Certificate in Outdoor First Aid
Level 2 Certificate in Outdoor First Aid
The outdoor environment nearly always means that the casualty has to be looked after for a longer timescale than is typical in a more urban setting. All of our Outdoor First Aid courses look at how to manage the situation when the ambulance does not turn up in 10 minutes time and are appropriate if your work or leisure place is remote. This qualification will keep NGB Outdoor Instructor awards valid.
