First Aid
All of our First Aid courses are ITC accredited and delivered by Act Fast First Aid Instructors
Level 3 Outdoor First Aid
The Level 3 Outdoor First Aid qualification (16 hours) is accredited by the awarding body ITC First.
This qualification is designed to meet the needs of those working away from immediate assistance (more than 30 mins) in the remote and rural regions of the UK.
It is suitable for people working or spending recreational time in rural and remote settings and will maintain the license to practice for those with outdoor National Governing Body Instructor awards, such as Mountain Leaders, Climbing Instructors, Ski Instructors, Mountain Guides, Paddlesport Instructors, Mountain Bike Instructors, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Leaders, Horse Riders, Geography Field Trip Leaders and Forest School Leaders.
The course also meets the requirements of the Institute for Outdoor Learning (IOL) Statement of Good Practice for Outdoor First Aid Training at Band 3.
Course Duration & Assessment:
The training and assessment typically consists of a two day (16+ hour) course.
Students are assessed continuously by tutor observation of ‘real-life’ skills in a friendly and supportive way. There are no written tests to complete at the end of the course as the outcomes are assessed by demonstration of practical first aid in our fun and interactive outdoor scenario-based approach throughout the two days day.
This certificate is valid for three years and certificate renewal is by completion of another outdoor first aid course.
Level 3 Forest School First Aid
This course is accredited by ITC the awarding body and is designed for Forest School Practitioners.
The requirements for Forest School first aid can be met by completing an ITC Level 3 Award in Outdoor First Aid. However, many groups prefer or require context specific and tailored training involving infants for instance, with a tailored, contextualised approach to content often mixing elements of infant/child/adult training as determined by the group. This training course is designed to provide that flexibility.
This course is designed to provide outdoor incident management skills. Typical delivery methods are predominantly practical, with elements occurring out of doors in outdoor clothing and on various terrains.
