Wilderness First Aid
WFA with CPR & AED - Hybrid Option
Going to Northern Tier, Summit Bechtel Reserve, Philmont Scout Ranch, or Sea Base? Our WFA / CPR / AED course is perfect for you !
The basics:
- Reserve a spot in the mandatory skill session.
- Two online courses will be provided.
- Finish the WFA online course AND finish the CPR / AED online course.
- Attend and pass a skills session and then accept your certification eCards via email.
- Most of our skill sessions are held in Conroe, Texas.
Super important note: EVERY student MUST have their own email... Including when paying for the course. Certificates, online course, eBooks are all sent and accessed through the students unique email.
If parents are setting this up for their child, they might have to create an email (one that their child never uses).
We apologize for this inconvenience but all CPR / First Aid programs use electronic certifications, card, books, courses etc, and there is no other way to issue certifications.

What age must students be? The Scouts website says "Youth (14 years old and up) and adult Scout leaders are encouraged to take a 16-hour WFA course" This does not place a rule on the age of students. The requirements for any class is that the student can understand the material, perform the skills on a manikin or simulated casualty, and pass a written test. We have had 12 year old students pass this course.
Will our certifications be accepted? The scouts allow Emergency Care & Safety Institute (ECSI) instructors to teach WFA - click here. Big Texas CPR LLC is an ECSI training Center. Click here and use 77378 zip to find us listed as such.
Wilderness First Aid is required for all high adventure camps.
Important note: Certification will not indicate "online course" because students MUST see an instructor prior to being certified. Certification is the exact same as one issued after a live class.
