First Aid training for the outdoors

Why choose me?

As a first aid trainer who is also a keen paddler, climber, biker and walker, I can tailor first aid courses to the specific needs of your activity.

Principles not Rules

I believe in teaching principles - not rules. In the outdoors when help might be many hours away, your best course of action is affected by the weather, your kit, your group, your whereabouts to mention just a few factors. In real life, the answer is almost always "it depends....".

Learning by doing

The best way to learn first aid is by doing first aid. We'll spend as much time as possible actively dealing with mock incidents.

Nationally recognised

Unlike most trainers, I'm not tied to just one awarding body. I can run first aid courses through REC, BCU lifeguards and Abertay. This means I can deliver a wider variety of courses at a price to suit you. I can run first aid training that will validate qualifications with BCU, MLT, RYA, BCA and SMBLA.

If there are a group of you wanting first aid training then why not book me for a private course? You can choose your own dates and I'll travel to you. For groups of five or more it's not just more convenient but also cheaper. A two day course with up to twelve particpants will typically cost you £500. You provide a venue and I'll provide everything else.
