The Outdoor Pursuits 8 Hour First Aid course is aligned with the Institute for Outdoor Learning (IOL) Statement of Good Practice on Outdoor First Aid at Band 3. It is taught outside under a parachute in the grounds of Sutton Hoo, Suffolk. The instructor has over 20 years real life experience of leading world expeditions and search and rescue management, bringing knowledge and advice that won’t be found elsewhere. The contents of this course will cover primary and secondary care adapted to the outdoor world where the emergency services may be harder to access, but does not cover as many subjects as the 16 hour outdoor course. Ideal for Duke of Edinburgh supervisors, Ecologists, outdoor instructors, search and rescue personnel, expedition leaders, water sport instructors, mountain climbers, Scout/Guide group leaders. Comfortable clothing is required as this course is interactive. Please bring your own lunch and plenty of water. An internet capable device is required for the final assessment. All our first aid courses fully meet the UK and European Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2021 as per the HSE requirements. The content of this and all our courses has been independently certified as conforming to universally accepted Continuous Professional Development (CPD) guidelines and come with a Certified CPD Statement as well as a ProTrainings Certificate and for online courses an Evidence Based Learning statement. “I defy anyone to find a better outdoor first aid course instructor than Dave Coyle. Straight to the point, hands on from the minute you arrive, highly informative and taught in an outdoor environment. Some fantastic tips that you won’t find in the usual first aid manuals but are highly practical and help you to actually remember things.” – Andrew
