Wilderness First-Aid

Yamnuska Mountain Adventures offers expert wilderness first aid courses and certification out of our classrooms in Canmore, Alberta. Immediately behind our office is the perfect wilderness scenario setting so we never have to drive to complete the outdoor training.

Wilderness First Responder

This 80-hour wilderness first aid course is the industry standard for outdoor professionals and those who work in remote locations. Many organizations require it as part of their job qualifications. The course is delivered over 10 days, with 1 day off  in the middle and additional online learning required.

Participants will receive an Intermediate (Standard) First Aid and Level C CPR certification (for the workplace) in addition to Wilderness First Responder Certification. The Intermediate (Standard) First Aid certification is recognized by Alberta Occupational Health & Safety.

Topics include patient assessment system, body systems, environmental injuries/conditions, anaphylaxis, lifting/moving/extrication, patient carries, backcountry medicine, and CPR.

Topics are covered in-depth and include simulations. The wilderness first aid course is recommended for outdoor professionals as well as outdoor recreationalists who lead adventure trips or those who are in the backcountry for days or weeks at a time and may have to care for a patient over an extended period.

This course is hosted by Yamnuska Mountain Adventures and taught by Rocky Mountain Adventure Medicine.

Wilderness First Responder Recertification

Recertify your 80-hour Certification with our 40-hour re-certification course. The course is delivered over 4 days (32 hours), with additional online learning required to supplement the practical activities. This program is for individuals who currently hold a valid 80-hour certification that requires recertifying to keep their certification current.

Upon completion, successful students will be awarded a Wilderness First Responder certificate and an Intermediate (Standard) First Aid Certificate with Level C CPR & AED training. The Intermediate (Standard) First Aid certification is recognized by Alberta Occupational Health and Safety.

Wilderness Advanced First Aid

This 40-hour course is designed for those who take on a leadership role in the outdoors. This is the industry standard for those who lead custodial groups in the backcountry, teachers, raft guides and trip leaders. This level of certification is required by many companies, school boards, camps and youth organizations. The course is delivered over 4 days (32 hours) and supplemented with online learning.

Wilderness Advanced First Aid Recertification

The Wilderness Advanced First Aid Re-Certification program is delivered over 2.5 days (20 hours), with additional online learning required. In-person sessions focus on practical skills activities, simulations and outdoor scenarios. This course is appropriate for those wishing to re-certify their 40 Hour Wilderness First Aid certification which is near expiry.

Successful participants will receive a Wilderness Advanced First Aid certificate and an Intermediate (Standard )First Aid certificate with Level C CPR. Both certifications are valid for 3 years. Graduates must recertify within 3 years.

Wilderness Remote First Aid

The Remote First Aid program is a great introduction to Wilderness First Aid. This course is designed for the weekend warrior who participates in activities such as mountain biking, sport climbing, or other outdoor sports that are relatively close to roads and towns. It is taught entirely from the perspective of “delayed help” and enables the participant to perform valuable treatments that will lessen the severity of injuries and contribute to speedier recovery times in the case of an unfortunate incident. This course is a combination of theoretical and hands-on curriculum.

Participants will receive a Remote First Aid certificate and a Basic (Emergency) First Aid with Level C CPR certificate (for the workplace). Both certifications are valid for 3 years.
