SOLO's Wilderness First Responder (WFR) course is the industry standard for wilderness medical training for guides, trip leaders, and outdoor professionals with responsibilities in the field. The 72-hour program covers standardized patient assessment, musculoskeletal injuries, environmental emergencies, soft tissue injuries, and non-traumatic issues like asthma and diabetes.
Wilderness First Aid (WFA), is tailored for outdoor enthusiasts seeking comprehensive first aid knowledge in remote wilderness settings. The course, spanning 16 hours, integrates real-life field examples with traditional classroom instruction, focusing on hands-on scenarios.
In the two-day Level 1 Instructor Course, participants acquire Leave No Trace skills, ethics, and teaching techniques for promoting low-impact practices for recreating outdoors. The course, conducted in person over two consecutive days, includes over half of the duration spent outdoors. Graduates of the course are equipped to conduct Leave No Trace Skills Courses and Workshops in their communities.
