Read MoreThis is my 6th recertification and my first with American Outdoor School. Also my first online recertification. I learned a lot. New scenarios, a different way of looking at problems etc. I felt the material, especially the spinal injury topic, was very up to date with current practices. I wasn’t sure I would like the online approach, but it worked well. I would recommend doing a few modules a day instead of binge-watching

The certification is $99, and you are prompted to pay at the end of the course if you decide to get it. We are delighted to work with organizations that require their employees to have a wilderness first aid certification.
You will receive a certification when you complete all requirements online. This includes passing the quizzes, submitting videos of you administering an assessment, and providing care for specified injuries.
There is no time limit on the course; the only time limit is if you need to acquire your wilderness first aid certification or renew your wilderness first responder by a specific date.
Your wilderness first aid certification is good for two years.
Our Wilderness Medicine classes follow the same curriculum as NOLS, WMA, SOLO, and Scouts (BSA). Like all other organizations, we are issuing a certification, not a license. You will receive a certification card at the end of each course.
Upon completing all requirements, expect a WFA certification as a printable image file.
Absolutely. There is an additional $25 fee for administering the WFR test. Just let us know if this is for the recertification of a wilderness first responder so we can email you the test. Our email is [email protected].
No. Anyone interested in the subject can take this class.
If you learn best in person, please seek an in-person wilderness first aid course. The point of this course is to offer it to people who cannot make it to a class, are deterred by the costs, or require more time to learn and process the material.
