Learn how to handle outdoor emergency situations in this two-day Wilderness First Aid certification course, SOLO’s most popular class. You will learn how to stabilize emergencies, dress exposed wounds, treat weather exposure and practice other common survival skills. Like all SOLO courses, students learn both in a classroom setting and through structured scenarios. WFA is a 2-year certification and, for an additional fee, will also recertify a soon-to-expire WFR or AWFA qualification.
