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.
