Wonderful Class
Date: July 22, 2008
"I took a WFA class in spring 2008 and loved it. It was fun and helpful, with a great deal of hands-on practice. The instructors were fabulous, both fun and confidence-inspiring. I enjoyed it so much that I'm thinking of taking the WFR course. This course is completely worth the time and money."

Course short & sweet

"I took the weekend WFA course 6/08. Format efficient and to the point. Instructors excellent, well-qualified & with solid teaching skills. Weather (sunny & warm) & location (Discovery Park) excellently chosen. A "final" practical exam the second day would have been good."

Wilderness First Aid
Date: July 21, 2008
"The instructors were top notch and very entertaining and knowledgable. The course was very hands on which was nice. The only negative I had was that we didn't have time to touch on what I really wanted to learn about which was situations in high altitude and severe cold weather. The reason for this was the constant questions asked by others, not due to the instructors."

excellent course
Date: July 21, 2008
"I've been a working outdoor professional for a long time and have attended a number of these types of trainings (from EMT-W, WFR and WFA) and I have to say this is a great course. In two days hit all the high points and had great hands on components."

Realistic simulated skull fracture
Pros: excellent instructors, plenty of practice, realistic situations
"I've taken several first aid courses for my work, and this was by far the best. Steve and Kate are great instructors, tailoring the material to the students in a very effective, relaxed and accessible way. They have a wonderful way of blending fun with serious topics that allows a student to learn without becoming overwhelmed by the intensity of treating a severe wilderness injury. We covered a lot of material but everything was framed in a real-life situation with plenty of hands-on practice on live patients with realistic looking wounds. I even got appropriately queezy at one point. Wonderful preparation."
