This week we’re running a Wilderness First Responder (WFR) recert course and a Wilderness First Aid course with the great folks at WMI/NOLS.

When 9-1-1 is not an option, the rules change … plain and simple! For almost two decades the Wilderness Medicine Institute has defined the standards in wilderness medicine training. We offer a wide range of course and certification opportunities tailored to meet your needs.

Because of our commitment to excellent risk management and the highest standards of care for our students, we run our course with instructors who are WFR or WFA certified by WMI/NOLS.  The rules certainly change in the backcountry, and even more so in the backcountry of a developing country like Thailand.

As educators it is always great to be taught by the great teachers from WMI/NOLS, and over the years we’ve been impressed with their depth of knowledge, ease of communicating difficult material, and fun and engaging ways of teaching sometimes difficult material.  So thanks to Shaun Quinn for his marathon solo teaching effort over three long days!

Here are a few photos from the course.  Jump to our WFR course page for description of and a video of our last full (10 day) WFR course.
