We provide a comprehensive range of first aid courses. This section focuses specifically on training for those working in or enjoying the outdoors. Standard workplace first aid suits environments where an ambulance is minutes away. However, the outdoor environment demands a more robust and self-reliant approach.
Choosing the Right Level of Care
It is essential to consider your environment when selecting a course. Think about the likely response time of professional medical services. A standard workplace qualification is often insufficient if help is over thirty minutes away. You must also consider the age of those in your care. Reflect on the typical terrain you encounter and the specific nature of potential injuries in remote settings.
Our outdoor first aid courses provide the skills to manage casualties for extended periods. You will learn structured incident management and the continuous monitoring of vital signs. We also teach you how to protect a casualty from the elements while awaiting rescue. These skills are vital for anyone responsible for safety in the British countryside.
Who Should Attend
Our bespoke and accredited training is ideal for people working in unpredictable environments. Typical attendees include mountain bikers, rural workers, ecologists, and tree surgeons. We also regularly train deer stalkers and walking leaders. Many outdoor enthusiasts also choose these courses to prepare for personal adventures.
Our Ethical Approach to Training
We are an ethical training partner. Because of this, our outdoor courses emphasise sustainable practices and environmental awareness. We believe that outdoor expertise must include respect for the natural world. Our instructors are experienced outdoor professionals. They understand the practicalities of delivering care on a hillside or in a forest.
Forest Haulage Safety and Driver CPC
Chris Garland Training does not provide Driver CPC training. Consequently, our EFAW+F course does not contribute towards a Forest Haulage Safety Certificate of Professional Competence.
