The emphasis of the course is on how to manage and arrange the evacuation of injured or ill casualties in remote settings far from medical help and where there is only minimal equipment available. The course is taught in a completely hands- on manner in realistic outdoor scenarios where the skills of each and every individual on the course is practised and developed.
Level 1 is suitable for those who partipate rather than lead in outdoor activities and want to gain a basic level of confidence as a first responder in a remote setting
Just did my Rec 4, and Rec 3 before that with Marie. The course was so informative and interesting. So applicable to what we do in the outdoors. Marie's relaxed and extremely knowledgeable delivery was the best first aid course I have done over the years. Her theory links into the practical sessions so well and she inspires confidence with hers. Fantastic course Can't recommend Marie's courses enough
