This class is taught to both Scouters and Non- Scouters who want to learn first aid before any high adventure trip.
Going to Northern Tier, Summit Bechtel Reserve, Philmont Scout Ranch, or Sea Base? Our WFA / CPR / AED course is perfect for you !
Learn the skills required for medical emergencies you may encounter in the back country. This class will teach you the first aid you will need when you are miles away from outside help and you may be the only trained person who could save a life.
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.
We offer this course live ($150 per student) Click here for details.
We also offer this as a Hybrid Course ($125 per student) Click here for details.
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.
A WFA Field guide is provided to all students who attend a live class. Interested in purchasing an extra one? Go to https://Pay.BigTexasCPR.com/WFA - cost is $38.50 each (shipping is $1.50 per guide as applicable).
Wilderness First Aid is required for all high adventure camps.
