The WFA includes a broad range of introductory medical skills and topics, including patient assessment, CPR, AED, and basic life support skills.

This will include group demonstrations, skills clinics, and a lot of role-playing. Students will practice patient care on live ‘patients’ in realistic drills and simulations.

This WFA course is designed for 2 comprehensive days of instruction in person.

Students have the option to enhance comprehension by exploring our online course resources. Many students find this better prepares them for hands-on practice during the class.

This Wilderness First Responder Course is hosted by Woolman on our campus located at 13075 Woolman Lane, Nevada City, CA.

Instruction will be provided by Natalie Brechtel of Gut-Z-Journey, a certified WMA instructor.

Lunch is included both days, we are able to accommodate most allergies and dietary restrictions.
