ADVANCED WILDERNESS FIRST AID (AWFA)

This course is designed for summer camp instructors, outdoor guides, and professionals leading extended trips in remote wilderness settings where medical assistance may be significantly delayed. It provides comprehensive first aid training beyond basic emergency care, equipping participants with essential skills to assess and manage injuries, illnesses, and environmental emergencies in multi-day settings. Ideal for forest guides, trail guides, and outdoor educators. The training ensures they can provide effective patient care and coordinate evacuations when necessary. AWFA courses specifically cater to individuals leading half-, full-, or short multi-day trips in areas with reliable cell or satellite phone service but where outside assistance may still be delayed for hours. Graduates often work as summer camp leaders, trip leaders in college outdoor programs, residential camps, or as instructors and guides in wilderness activities. SOLO's WAFA course ensures participants are well-prepared to handle medical situations in remote settings, fostering both confidence and competence in wilderness first aid.
